Mr. Prior was my teacher and mentor in both years 11 and 12. I was intrigued entering his classroom on the first day of teaching as he taught my friends the year before and they really hyped him up, lets just say I was far from disappointed. In the span of 2 years I became very close to Mr. Prior, he made a typically tiresome and boring subject a joy to attend. The banter he had with me and my friends was unmatched with any teacher I had ever had, in fact, we more considered him to be a friend than a teacher. He had a tendency to be brutally honest with you about your learning outcomes, a sincerity that stung when you failed but felt very fulfilling when you succeeded. The main thing that stuck with me about Mr. Prior was his desire to help, he would help you work through a tough question not matter how long it took. On the last Friday before his passing he stayed back 20 minutes with me after school, taking time out of his day that he could have been spending with his family or friends to help me, I was probably the last student he talked to and I feel truly blessed that I was able to share that time with him when so many others wished they could have.
Rest In Peace Sir, your memory will never be forgotten
