Greg Morrissey ’82

After teaching computer animation and multimedia for just three years since changing careers at age 48, Greg Morrissey ’82 was named Teacher of the Year at North Garland High School in Dallas. He also has been fighting an aggressive cancer for 2½ years, resulting in the amputation of his left arm and shoulder. Greg’s wife, Karen Yanko Morrissey ’83, says Greg is “an amazing fighter through this and is teaching his students more than just computer animation … he is teaching them life lessons they will never forget.” Greg is preparing for a prosthetic arm and is no longer in treatment. He and Karen have a 13-year-old daughter, Kyle.
