Campus monitor and bus driver Nancy Rash has been working at Roseville High School since 2008. Though supervising students every day is her job, she simultaneously wants to be a symbol of comfort and security for RHS students. Nancy currently copes with the heavy weight of her father’s illness and wants to retire doing
what she loves.

“This job has had a ton of impact on me, it’s changed me dramatically. I’m significantly more patient. I feel like I want to be an authority, but in the same breath I want to be somebody that studentsfeel they can talk to, feel comfortable with. They can and have. I’ve heard everything imaginable. There are ups and downs. The downs would be when I have to adult, because I want to livein a bubble. I believe that we are all here for one reason, and that’s to succeed. After this, I want to continue to be a use and have a connection with the kids. I foresee myself retiring doing this.

Recently it’s been hard to think about my dad. He has Alzheimer’s, and the clock is ticking. This job actually affords him to tag along in football games. I call him whenever the schools are in competition and he loves it. So I’m hoping to still have some years left with my father and continue to grow with my grandchildren. I live play and work in Roseville, and I love it.”
