Membership level: Hall of Fame Harrison Bull Inductee Year 2021 | |
Harrison has been described as a teacher, coach, arbiter, and friend. He led the boys’ freshman gymnastics team from 1965 to 1985 which included nine State Championships. He left such a positive impact that the oldest Freshmen Gymnastics Invitational in Illinois was renamed to the Harrison Bull Gymnastics Invite in 1995. Not only a coach to gymnastics, Harrison taught self-esteem, confidence determination and perseverance to all students he had an opportunity to coach. He was also a Social Studies and Psychology teacher that was known to engage his students in spirited, often controversial outlooks on issues to help them develop their own perspectives and convictions on policies, rules, laws and more. Loyal, thoughtful, dedicated, and the person who saw the best in every single student enabled him to be a well-respected colleague and community member. |
