VOL. 1 -- You and the Pandemic

Assistant principal, father, and friend: Mr. Shane Snyder is often
described as a pillar of the community. He was heavily involved in Eaglecrest
and had an impact on nearly everyone he came in contact with.
“We have been incredibly fortunate to have Mr. Snyder here for
the last 15 years. His mark on Eaglecrest will be long-lasting,” said fellow
assistant principal and friend Jim Roome. From setting up for football
games to helping students to speaking at graduation, Mr. Snyder’s mark on
the community is considerable.
“One of my favorite memories of him are just him coming into
the classroom and interacting with my students and making me feel like
what I do is important,” Williams said. She describes him as a true raptor,
a paradigm of the Eaglecrest spirit, and someone who really cared about
how you were doing.
“He was always supportive, always caring, always thoughtful.
He just has a presence of calm,” Joe Bruley, also an assistant principal, said
of Snyder. In fact, ask anyone about Mr. Snyder, and you are guaranteed to
hear the same thing: he was calm, incredibly caring and considerate, and
always there to help.
On a small scale, with individual staff members and students,
Mr. Snyder will forever be remembered as a genuine, calming presence for
so many. And for the school and the community, he will always be someone
who not only kept the school running, but kept the school’s spirit and
joy.
“What I know is that Shane will always be with us,” said Gwen
Hansen-Vigil, Eaglecrest’s principal. “His presence will always be there
because of how impactful he’s been.”
