William S. Peirce was my third great grandfather . When I found a middle school had been named after him, I was a bit stunned. I recently retired from the teaching profession after forty-nine years. Thirty-two of them were spent in middle school, the remainder in high school. Over the years many told me that I was nuts! I never really understood; I loved my work and my students. No apologies !
