MR COSTA was an inspiration of excellance .......re-directing our student paths with the importance of staying in school, and graduating. While viewing the jewelry that we were inspired to create, I think of him often. Thank you Lou, from the students at Mt Diablo High !

Thank you, Lou, for being the highlight of my 4 years of high school! Without your Applied Arts classes every year I'm not sure I would have survived it all. I learned so much from you. You discovered and encouraged talents I didn't know I had and helped me develop a confidence in my skills that I've retained throughout my life. You were the best of the best! I'm thankful for my memories.
