"I can honestly say that Mr. Roman is not just my teacher in school, but my teacher in life ... I entered his class as a naive and immature kid, but left as a mature adult ready to face any challenges that await for me."
– James Khau

"Never have I met a teacher who is able to communicate with their student as well as he can ... He would never give up in discovering the potential within his students."
– Tina Yu

"Michael Roman is definitely a force of nature to his students ... He focuses on what is important to his students and helps them to accomplish in school and in life."
– Tina Yu

"Besides being a fine teacher, Mr. Roman has sponsored six student trips to Washington D.C. ... and Mr. Roman has four times accompanied students [on organized trips to Hawaii]. As is the way of the world these days, it isn't enough to organize and supervise such trips, Mr. Roman also had to organize and supervise the raising of funds to make these trips possible."
– Pam Gill

"His affinity for the students led him to be a senior class sponsor, a job others have confided to me was the biggest challenge they've had in their teaching careers."
– Pam Gill
