High school history teacher Drew Olson was deployed to Afghanistan, but his students at Northridge High School in Layton, Utah, didn't forget him. While he was gone, they sent care packages and birthday cards to the 32-year-old teacher and football and basketball coach. So when Olson found out he was coming home early, he decided to give them the surprise of a lifetime. "I don't even know how to describe that moment that took place in my classroom, it's something very special that I will never forget and always hold tight to me," Olson told InsideEdition.com. #InsideEdition

You know when a kid walks over a few desks and jumps over them just to see his coach,than that coach must've been amazing.

Jumping over desks, sprinting at him, screaming with excitement, and full body hugs. Now that is what I like to see

Y’all saw that kid at the start who jumped and literally clinged to the coach 😊I thought he was crying with that red face(maybe he was) And the other kid who literally climbed over the tables almost tripping just to hug the coach. 😊 That type of student-teacher love is what you never gonna see in my school😅😂

The fact that everyone celebrates when he returns goes to show that he is a good teacher.
