District mourns the loss of Technology Teacher Logan Cresap

August 22, 2006 - The district sadly reports the loss of Mr. Logan Cresap, a technology teacher at Duanesburg High School since 1998. Cresap died on Sunday, August 20 after battling an illness. He was on medical leave since this past spring.

"Mr. Cresap was an innovator who sometimes chose unorthodox methods in the classroom. He is best known for the snowboard production class he established," said Superintendent Dr. Mark Villanti.

District staff members were notified of Cresap's death on Monday by phone, and a letter from the superintendent was mailed home to parents of middle school/high school students on Tuesday.

This fall the middle school/high school will plan an appropriate remembrance with his family. Students and parents who wish to send cards can forward them to the district office and they will be presented to his family.

"I considered Logan not only a teaching colleague, but also a friend," Villanti said. "We will greatly miss him as a teacher, but truly miss a good friend." Read Dr. Villanti's letter here.
