A huge void was left at Whitefish Bay Middle School in October, when Associate Principal Chuck Orvold passed away due to complications associated with pancreatic cancer. Orvold began his career at Whitefish Bay Middle School 22 years ago as the school's associate principal, a position he held up until he passed away.

Remembered for his sense of humor, his Harley-Davidson motorcycle and his tough-but-fair disciplinarian role, Orvold was well-respected by students. He was often greeted in the lunchroom or at football games by kids chanting "O" and forming the letter "O" over their heads.
