CAPT Code/Charlie: Congratulations. Glad to see you’re still serving our country after a distinguished active duty career. I’m proud of you and proud to have served in the Navy with you. I wouldn’t have expected anything less from you than Teacher of the Year
Congratulations Captain Code.
When I heard your hat was thrown into the pile for this honor, I just knew you would win it hands down. There are many leaders that walk amongst us, but very few leaders who do it with as much patience and understanding as you do. Northview is a much better school with having you in it and I know Senior Chief Coleman has to be very proud of this accomplishment and honor you have earned. God bless you and your beautiful family!
Congratulations Captain!
Capt. Code,
Congratulations on your much-deserved award. It is a pleasure to know you and to work with you and your NHS NJROTC students during Relay for Life. Thank you for your service to our country, our community, and to our students
I had the privilege of working for Captain Code in his last active duty assignment as Commanding Officer of CNATT. As a Northview parent, I was elated when I heard he was headed to our school to work with the NJROTC program. He is a great asset to our school, our kids, and the community. Congratulations Captain!.
Awesome! Congrats Captain Code! Those of us who know you are not surprised by this achievement. To the NHS students, these types accomplishments do not happen by themselves. I’m confident your tireless efforts and measureable success have contibuted signifcantly to Captian Code’s recognition. Well done to you all. One Team, One Fight!
Great Job Capt. Code
CONGRATULATIONS Captai Code!!!! Thank you for ALL you do to help our children, and thus our communities! Thak you, so very much!
Congratulations, Captain Code. You’ve earned it.
Captain Code brings to the table a good blend of caring & discipline to his students. He teaches them to better themselves, work with others, encourage others. The NJROTC program at Northview has flourished in his hands. This gentleman is a blessing to our family, the school and our community. Congratulations Captain!
Captain Code…Thank you for being part of our community and an amazing influence to all of our children. What an Honor to have you at Northview High School. Congratulations !
Capt. Code was my Commanding Officer at CNATT while we were both on active duty in the Navy and he is one of the best. I have spoken with him since he went to work at Northview and he absolutely loves the kids he works with there and enjoys his job. He has always set the highest example, faces adversity with dignity and humor, and understands perfection is different for everyone. Capt. Code is definitely a Leader of Men and Women. Northview is very fortunate to have him on their team.
Great Job Captain!!! We’re very proud of you!
Capt Code was my CO at CNATT; having worked with him, I know him to be an officer and a gentlemen. The well being and education of young people has always been a driving concern for him. Northview you are fortunate indeed to have such a man. Rock on Capt Code!
It is always uplifting to read a story like this! We are indeed fortunate to have such people as Captain Code serving our country and teaching our children.. Thank you Captain Code!!
A Super nice guy
Captain Code is an amazing person. His love and dedication for the school and NJROTC program is reflected in his actions towards the teachers and students. His generosity and caring is demonstrated daily in his actions at school or after school. The community is truly blessed to have him shaping the minds of the future.
Thank you for your service and giving back to our children and community…
Captain Code is so well-deserving of this award. He is a dedicated adult in the lives of so many young people, and his character is impeccable. We are so lucky to have him as an influence in our Northview family! Congratulations!
I almost left out the most important part:
Captain Charlie Code has reflected great credit upon himself and Northview High School. He has upheld the highest traditions of the United States Navy.
This is a well deserved Honor for Captain Code. The leadership and guidance he provides the students of Northview high School is unmatched. His unique ability to apply “real world experience” makes the lessons he teaches memorable for the students. We are very fortunate to have Captain Code in our community.
