While Mr. Pirro is debatably one of the most difficult teachers in Emmaus High School, he offers a caliber of education far greater than every other instructor a high school has to offer. His 50 plus years of teaching and writing experience allow him to truly provide students with necessary information and steps to DRASTICALLY improve their writing. Mr. Pirro not only goes above and beyond in offering students valuable educational information, but provides essential life lessons, helping students in college, and their future careers. Personally, I began my sophomore year absolutely hating the teaching style of Mr. Pirro, and only shortly in the past I realized how this teacher operates, and that he is truly the greatest educator I have ever had the immense pleasure of meeting, and writing for.

Mr Pirro, In my personal opinion is the greatest teacher Emmaus has to offer, He does not take shortcuts. He provides to students what no other teacher ever has to me, His undivided respect and care for everything he teaches.
