In all honesty, I first signed up for AP Comp Sci only because there was nothing else that could fit in my schedule. Once I did sign up, I did so expecting to drop the class within a few months because I thought it'd be too hard or it wouldn't be that interesting. While it was challenging, man oh man was I wrong about it not be interesting. Thanks to you, I quickly became incredibly interested in Comp Sci and loved AP Comp Sci. I'm still taking CIS courses in college and might even get a minor in it! Thanks for showing me the amazingness of boxes and computer science and for always making sure that class was incredibly fun. Happy birthday!

Happy birthday Mr. Swope!!! I hope you have a great day, because you deserve it the most :) If you need to take some time off, I'd be happy to step in and teach the class for a little while ;) Sorry you have to deal with my psychotic behavior in Compsci, but it's my absolute favorite class and I get so excited when we get to have it in person!! I definitely wouldn't have wanted any other teacher for comp sci this year. Anyways, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 🥳🥳

Dear Mr. Swope,
Happy birthday!! It's been great getting to know you over the past 7+ years. Many of my fondest memories from high school are of Computer Science classes, Programming Club, and, of course, CodeLM. I really admire your dedication to teaching and to your students; how you go above and beyond to help the students who are struggling and challenge the students who are excelling. I look forward to working with you on CodeLM and other pursuits in the years to come!
