Back to Class with Mr. H is more than a podcast—it’s a homecoming. A chalk-dusted reunion between a retired teacher and the students whose stories are still unfolding.

For 25 years, I taught 7th grade social studies and coached basketball in Room 1511. Every day, I wrote a quote on the board. Every week, I tried to reach kids not just through content, but through connection. When I retired, I realized something powerful: my students weren’t done teaching me.

In each episode, I reconnect with a former student where life has taken them—home, work, or somewhere unexpected. We share a toast (never on camera) and talk about:

• Who they were then
• Who they’ve become
• What they want the next generation to know

Some are CEOs, nurses, artists, soldiers, barbers, authors, or teachers. Some had straight A’s, others barely made it to graduation. All have something to say. All shaped me.

This isn’t nostalgia—it’s proof that education doesn’t end at the bell. Teachers are forever. Impact echoes. Classroom bonds don’t break—they evolve.

Our mission:

Celebrate the teacher-student connection long after the final grade is given.

Honor those who grow up and give back.

Spotlight the sparks that lit the way.

Inspire anyone who still believes in the power of showing up.

New episodes every other Thursday.

🍏 Class is back in session.
