Dear Gryphon Students,
It is bittersweet that I bid you farewell as I enter retirement. I want to say you have been my life's work, and I have enjoyed every moment with you, trying to make a difference. I know I was not perfect as your principal, but please know that I tried to be an ideal father to all of you. Yes, I said father because I approached each day trying to care for every student I have ever come in contact with as if they were my daughter. When my daughter was growing up (and still today), not only did I make sure she was safe and secure first, but I always tried to teach and mold her by providing her with the foundational things that would help her be successful in life and to be a good person.
So, as I move on past these school walls of Rocky Mount High School, I wish to leave you with this: If you ever begin to wonder why Mr. Colvin spent so many years working with young people, it is because I wanted to do the same thing someone did for me when I was a student. My teachers and other staff were phenomenal when I was in elementary, middle, and high school. Those people played a tremendous role in shaping who I became as an individual, and I never forgot that.
The lesson is this: honor and respect the faculty and staff who show up every day to make a difference in your young lives. Your teachers and staff members are the most under-appreciated people in the workforce, but they have the most important job of taking care of you. If you ever want to let me know that I made a difference in your life, then let me hear about how you honor, respect, and appreciate the people standing before you every day - your teachers and other staff members.
Thanks, and Godspeed, my Gryphon Students.
Mr. Colvin

This consent allows for yearbook inclusion and school-related social media presence. Non-opted-in students won't feature in new media by the school/district. Find the form in Rooms, under Materials -> "Mandatory" -> "updated model release form".
