In honor of Mr. Tom Craces
I canβt think about Kent without thinking about Mr. Cracas. Two years of Latin. Thirds football as player and student assistant. Curriculum committee. He encouraged us to stretch ourselves- to always try do a little more than we thought we could, whether in the classroom, on the field, or while participating in school leadership. He was demanding but never overbearing.
