Leaving his administrator job and stepping back into the classroom was not a hard decision, he said. Though his current job is intense, the atmosphere of the school is warm and supportive. When the kids walked down the hallway at the end of the day, many of them stopped to give him hugs or show him artwork they’d completed. “That, my friend,” said Swartz, examining a brightly colored paper contraption, “is one excellent cube.” —Mackenzie Parks ’99
