Mr. Huggins was one of the finest men I had the pleasure of working with. He hired me to teach night school at Spring Lake HS where he served as the night school principal. He was caring, thoughtful and most of all, wanted adults who had dropped out of school to have an opportunity to get their high school degree . One snowy evening when my car was stuck in snow, he helped me get the darn thing going. Over the years, I have shared his dedication to students, bringing out the best in them. I am grateful for having known him. Rest in Peace, Jim.

A great man and genuine person who always made me feel special. He was part of an exceptional group of educators who inspired me to enter that field. Thanks Mr. Huggins.

Jim Huggins was an all-around great guy. He cared about each and every student he ever had as part of Spring Lake Schools. Always set high expectations for all of us - a real compliment that he thought we, his students, could all amount to something special - no matter what that "special" might be. The world could use more exceptional, decent people just like him. Many hugs to the entire Huggins family.

He was the best principal in high school. One day in gym class the teacher notice I was hiding marks on me. She kept me after class and Mr. Huggis came to talk to me. I begged him not to call my mom. He understood and kept my secret. Many years later I ran into him and was surprise he remember who I was
