Music that Describes Walt (Jeff)
Walt Younglove was nominated by his colleague, Guillermo Orozco.
Mr. Younglove has made a difference in the lives of many people, from students, to parents, to colleagues. He inspires many students to become knowledgeable in the field of TV Production. Students have often expressed that if it wasn't for Mr. Younglove and his class, they wouldn't have known to have such an interest and liking in the field of TV Production.
Mr. Younglove always went out of his way to capture memorable moments on camera by being present "with the lights on" in events such as homecoming, prom, pep rallies, parades, and many other events. One of the highlights of Mr. Younglove's yearly projects has been the "Senior Memories Video," which is recorded throughout the year and presented to the senior class at the end of the school year right before graduation practice. This video includes the latest social trends that include students, faculty and staff. The students have always expressed a high interest in watching this video, as they know they will see friends, faculty, and staff in ways never seen before.
Mr. Younglove has shown his leadership within his school by tasking students to work on video projects that will be presented to the community, such as Daily News (On The Prowl), Senior Memories Video, Freshmen Showcase, and Tiger Success Presentations. Students have continually come back to MCHS expressing how much of a positive impact Mr. Younglove has made in their young adult lives.
