Corby said that his students told him they were determined to get Miranda to see the video, and were overjoyed when \"Hamilton\" noticed.

\"When I came home, I brought back the dog from the vet, I got taco meat cooking and then all of a sudden, my phone just goes nuts with all of the text messages coming through like, 'He did it! He did it!',\" Corby said. \"I think my text to them was like, 'Is there anything you guys can't do?'\"

Corby will celebrate his 20th year at New Egypt High School in 2020, and his class spoke about the impact he has had on current and former students.

\"I don't think I've met a student in the school or any of the past students who doesn't like him as a person and a teacher, so we all wanted to give back,\" Corby's student, Ellie shared.

\"If you love something, you give it that much effort, they'll give back to you,\" Corby said of his relationship with his students.

Corby said he felt humbled by the outpouring of messages, but credits his students for the incredible gesture.

\"They have the unbelievable ability to do something like this,\" he said. \"The world will be great when we grow old because of kids like this.\"
