Campus monitor and football coach Dan Garcia graduated from Roseville High School in 1981 and has been working at RHS for 18 years. He’s seen staff changes and campus growth, but thinks the school still possesses the tradition it had in 1981.
“I have long ties to Roseville. And those ties are better than money. I applied for the campus monitor job and I got it. And I never left. I remember when I was a kid, [the City of Roseville had] about fourteen thousand people and now it’s about one hundred and four [thousand], but it still has the small town feel to it. I think that Roseville High School still has that small town feel to it. The logistics of the school have gotten so much bigger, but that football field is still in the same spot. I think I’ve been here longer than anybody in the admin building, and so I’ve seen a lot of change and adjustment. This is my third principal and Cortes is the fifth on-campus police officer. That part is kind of hard. [But] you get older, you look back at so many changes and you adapt.”
