A familiar face will be missing from South Middle School next fall.
Coach Robert Burr's last day is Friday, then he will begin his retirement.
Coach Burr says he will miss South. "Absolutely, the teachers and principals are great; this is the best school I've been at in my 25 years at Joplin."
He also has positive things to say about the students. "Ninety-nine percent of them have been good." With the other one percent, he said, he handled them by "making them realize they are at school and they should behave while they are here."
Coach Burr got into teaching "so I could coach," he said. "I like teaching P. E. It is one of the true necessary subjects in school."
Coach Burr's role model is his dad. "I've always tried to be a good person just like him."
Though he will miss the people at South, Coach Burr says is time for him to retire. "I'm ready to move on and try something different, but I'm sure going to miss it."
