Was sitting here this evening thinking about how one of my favorite teachers told me that no one was ever going to ride in on a big white horse and save me and that I was going to be the one who did the saving. She was right. And in the age of the internet I googled her. I am very saddened to learn of her passing. If I can leave this world knowing I made an impact, the way she did, I would be forever thankful. Rest in peace. - Posted by: Amber Hall (née Woodley) (Former student) on: Nov 06, 2016

I was very saddened to hear about Mrs. Duggan's passing. I've only just learned as I have been out of the city for many years. I am a former student and have fond memories of Mrs. Duggan. She was always a pillar of strength who gave me compassion, guidance and understanding - which was exactly what I needed. She was one of those teachers you look back on and know how lucky you were to have her in your life. I remember her so well and just really enjoyed hearing stories. I will miss you Mrs. Duggan. - Posted by: Kathleen Boht (Kozak) (Former student) on: Nov 28, 2012
