*The Library is named after David A. Nims, an English teacher and
department head at
Oakmont Regional High School
from 1960-1994. Mr. Nims was a valuable mentor to students and
teachers alike. His pursuit of excellence set the standard for
several generations of Oakmont students and served as an
inspiration to his colleagues.
Mr. Nims' love of literature and writing, and his success
in sharing that love with his students and peers set an example
for all of us to follow. |
