Mr. Bruno has been an amazing support system for me as a teacher. He was assigned to be my mentor teacher and has gone above and beyond that role. He has continued to be someone that I can go to whenever I have questions or just need to talk. He genuinely cares about his colleagues and students and always knows what to say. We are neighbors in the hallways and there is always a mini dance party going on in the hallway during passing period. He makes our hallway and school a lot more lively!

Emerson Arevalo Posted over a year ago

Mr. Bruno kept his class fun and motivated through hard times, during this outbreak he's managed to entertain me and keep me happy in his team meetings and he's also done a fantastic job at teaching us material. He also managed his class well with his own notes and his own ideas in lessons making them unique. He taught us with games or challenges he would create and he made sure we understood our material with a great summary of the lessons. if we weren't having the best day he would ask what was wrong and talk to us in private about it. if we didn't want to talk about it, he gave us space and checked on us throughout the class. He also made jokes that kept us happy and was a great supervisor during the test we took. I'm grateful he was my teacher this year as he made my days fun and he taught me the material to the best of his ability. Thank You, Mr. Bruno.

Joseph Bruno is one of the most dedicated educators I have ever met. He is constantly working to find ways to make class more enjoyable for ALL students. He truly cares for his students. Joseph takes the time to build positive relationships with each student. He knows how to relate to them with jokes, and engaging activities. He is real with them. The students know that and they appreciate him for it. He inspires his students to set goals, work hard, and be great citizens. He also inspires his coworkers, like me, to approach challenges with a positive outlook, and determination to help anyone in need.

Amariah Cannon Posted over a year ago

This is going to sound so generic, but he is a really fun teacher. All of his lessons are easy to remember, because he puts it into simple words that we can understand. He also finds ways to connect his lessons to real life, to help us understand it better and make it more personal. But besides lessons, overall he is a really funny person and is easy to talk to when needed.

Mr.Bruno is one of my favorite teachers I've had so far. He teaches in a way that will interest you.He implements stories from his life to the topics he is teaching.He also gives a good description about the topic and will make you laugh from time to time. He uses stories from experiences with his kids and when he was are age or a few years older. One time he helped me learn the topics from a day where I wasn't in his class. He will make sure you understand what he is saying. He is very kind and thoughtful and will help you whenever. He will also talk with you to understand more about you. His class provides a calm and chill place for leaning. That is why he should be the life changer of the year.

Mr. Bruno is an amazing teacher, he knows how to teach a lesson and not only make it fun, but he knows how to guarantee that the student understands it. Not only is he an excellent teacher and knows how to teach, but he also makes people laugh and smile and brightens people's day just by his presence. A whole novel could be written about Mr. Bruno and how wonderful he is because he's just that great. He's a person you can talk to when you're going through a rough time because you can always count on him to make you laugh. I've learned so much from Mr. Bruno. Not just about Texas History, but about life in general, I learned that when someone makes fun of you or says something hurtful, just laugh about it because if you don't take it seriously, then it won't hurt you. Overall, Mr. Bruno is an extraordinary person and teacher and he deserves to win this award and many more!

Mr Bruno is fun teacher and is good at describing the Texas stuff and making it easy to remember by using frazes (i think that's how to spell it) to make it easy so you say the fraze and the letters mean a word or something like that so he is good at teaching and making us learn. .
