Roseville High School custodial worker Jonathan Tanner started working in the RJUHSD this school year. A spiritual man, Tanner uses his prior experiences in janitorial services to channel his need for purity and organization. Tanner appreciates the students of RHS’ energy and their subconscious tendency to clean up after themselves. In the future, Tanner plans to ride out his time at RHS and care for his friends and family.

“A lot of students here are really good. The first day on the job I only got one bag while working on my tables in the cafeteria, and that’s so awesome. One little sandwich bag. So the students here are awesome but what we gotta do is stay awesome throughout the year. The weather is going to change, Spring is going to come and turn up and y’all are gonna be filled with energy, but that’s expected. I like that.

I do this job not just because I need a paycheck, you see I’m a college graduate myself. I chose to come back into this business, I actually had a job offer to work at a nightclub and I turned it down to do this for more money, number one. I’m a father and I have responsibilities, and so I take this job very seriously.

I just want to add that as much as we can advocate, as much as we can be proactive when we see stuff and speak out as young men and young ladies, everyone has to do their part. You guys are the next generation. Cleanliness is close to God, and I’m a very spiritual man so that’s why I take my job very seriously. It’s a joy to work for you guys and I can’t wait to see where this job takes me in the future.”
