An immense loss to our community

Bill Sonnenschein was such a vital presence at Haas that it’s hard to imagine our school without him. Bill’s passion excited and inspired students to think differently about themselves as leaders and as people. Students loved him and spoke of him with the greatest enthusiasm for his commitment both in and out of the classroom. Bill’s energy and interests were such that I was always happy to see him in the hall or at a school event. Conversation with Bill was sometimes surprising and always engaging. We all hope to have an impact on people’s lives and Bill surely did. This is an immense loss to the Haas community. I hope that our love and appreciation for Bill will be of some comfort to his family in their great loss of such a wonderful person. Our hearts are with them.
