I will Never forget Mr. Kearns, he was the best principal ever and after he retired we still were pen pals for many years. Wow I had both Mrs. Birmingham and Miss Dee for two different grades. The teachers/staff and his whole school was the best part of my school life experience! When he retired, in my fourth grade year, my class was devastated and never did accept the new guy taking his place. NO ONE could ever replace Mr. Kearns!! He was a very good friend, great mentor in life and will be forever missed!!

I remember fondly Mr. Kearns from Pierremont Elementary (I attended 1975-1982).  I don't know if he treated me extra specially, or just made me feel that way.  Either way, he made an impression upon a young girl.  He reached out to me a few years ago to find out where life had taken me, and I was touched that he still remembered me after all that time, and made the effort to try and contact me.  He will not be forgotten.

We were fortunate to have four of our children attend Pierremont while
Mr Kearns was principal.  His performance was exemplary and was an example of what we should have watching over our children.  He will be missed.  Our prayers are  with the family.  God Bless him.

I remember Mr. Kearns as principal at Weber School.He was a wonderful man! He will be missed. My prayers are with his family.

Mr. Kearns was the best principal ever!
I attended Weber School 1961 to 1966.

Our daughters Michelle and Christine attended Pierremont elementary when "Mr Kearns" was principal. We were always amazed at the fact that he knew every student by name and spent time getting to know them. We were so disappointed when he retired and left the school. I know the girls will always remember him. He used to have little math problems just for Michelle. He was a very sweet man and always welcomed the students when they got off the bus in the morning to start their day.

A fine man who stood for what he believed in.

I will never forget when Gordon Kearns offered me my first teaching assignment at Pierremont in 1977. Thanks to Ann Birmingham for going the extra mile to secure a teaching position to help in third grade. They needed an assistant to help students. I was completing my student teaching at Pierrmeont when Gordon offered me the job. I was so elated. Hats off to Gordon for believing in me. After having the wonderful opportunity to teach children for 32 years, I am now retired. Thanks to Gordon for the opportunity I needed to get started in my career. I will never forget Gordon Kearns.
