I have very fond memories of my AP Philosophy class with Mr. Barreclough.  He asked thought provoking questions, and took the time to really hear your answer.  He afforded all of his students respect, which set him apart from some other teachers who couldn't see beyond the packaging.  He helped shape my future, for which I will always be grateful.

Rest in peace, Mr. Barreclough.

I had Mr. Barreclough for a government class teacher at Coronado High School from 1968-1969.  Excellent teacher with a good sense of humor! He told our class his nickname was "Duffy."  After that the students started calling his exams "Duffy's Toughies."  Even Mr. Barreclough smiled about the name given to his exams.  More teachers of Mr. Barreclough's caliber are needed in our school systems.

I have fond memories of Mr. B but did not have him as a teacher at Coronado.  I knew him at CHS and always thought he was a nice guy but a few years later I had the opportunity to play in a jazz band with him.  He played a tuba -- jazz tuba -- on the bass trombone part.  I played bari sax so I sat right in front of him.  During rehearsals he was very mellow and always nice.  I got to know him as a person rather than as a teacher -- a good musician with a big heart.
