I Know this is years late, but I’m sad to hear about the loss of Mr. Maziarz . He was my Guidance Counselor at Central High School and he helped me in so many ways. He is the reason I went to college, the first in my family, and went on to become a school guidance counselor myself. I am so thankful that I had his support in high school and I know there are many others out there who feel the same. I will never forget him and how he encouraged me and helped me during a pivotal time in my life. My deepest condolences.
