We would like to honor Mr. Dave Tremaine, who transformed Hayfield Secondary School through his positive energy and persistence through adversity while still managing to be an awesome principal. He was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer three years ago; unfortunately, he lost the battle on Monday, June 16th. He died the day before a special class of seniors graduated: they were the first seniors to have had him as a principal for all four years of their high school experience. He never gave up on any students no matter what, and he loved the school until the end. Mr. Tremaine would almost always wear an orange article of clothing (one of our school's colors), and he brought so much spirit and enthusiasm wherever he went. We want him to live on in places other than memory. Please support us in asking the Fairfax County School Board to allow the name of Hayfield to include that of our beloved principal.
