RIP Mr D...Than for Alwayz being my backup in High School! U will TRULY B MISSED! GREAT TEACHER, GOOD FRIEND...REST ON. KC

RIP Michael Denner You was a very special kind man. I put in a  my thoughts of how you was kind to our two sons while we lived in Death Valley. My boys thought alot of you and your the one that got our son Brian to try lobster for first time and he loved it. Our whole family has only good thoughts of you.  God Bless you.

Mike Denner hired me and Holly Wenger. It was my first teaching job. Mike was very persuasive and charismatic . He was an excellent teacher who cared. Everyone and anyone who knew him will be able to share mountains of stories,private and public. He was tireless and idealistic. He made good things happen for the
Death Valley schools, a serous upgrade.The campus was always beautiful, green and clean. The food was great. The students liked school because we were and still are family to each other.  Students were provided many opportunities to grow. I was only there five years and now, forty years later I enjoy a lifetime of fond and incredible memories.
Mike was a gifted person, a complex and friendly man. He led the “band”, an exceptional staff and teachers gathered around him. He was our tutor; a mentor. He liked to do almost everything . He did  almost everything.
He added delight and mystery to the Death Valley Days.
Gone, not forgotten

I and Brenda Greenfield baked you a cake when you first got to Shoshone, I will never forget that nor will I ever forget you. Rest in peace dear friend. 

You were such a great friend to our family while our children attended school  in Shoshone,.Ca. And you were so good to our sons. RIP my friend

Mr. Denner, you were always so good to my folks and a true friend to your students.   I was so glad that we were able to reconnect on social media over the last several years and definitely missed you when your computer failed you.   I am so glad I called you a couple months ago, but truly regret not sending that note I promised you.   You were so good to your Mom and you will be missed.   Thanks for being my principal, my teacher and mostly my friend.  My. D, you are LOVED!

I’m so sorry to hear this news of a person I grew up with in our school we considered family.  Rest In Peace MR. Denner you are NOT forgotten. 


I met Mike at Death Valley High School in the eighties. He managed the tiny school with a unique style that made the principal seem like someone who was not just approachable, but on my side. For someone who had never quite figured out how to fit in, I took comfort in his casual leadership style. These days I run a team of creatives and the loose reins approach he modeled has been of enormous help to me. I am grateful that we had the opportunity to reconnect on social media in recent years. I know that it brings joy to educators to see their students finding their life path.
