“I will miss all of my previous students. I have worked at Rouse for four years and I love that every class period when I stand in the hall I know at least half of the students and they all say, ‘Hi!’ I have been so fortunate to have such wonderful classes.  I will also miss the Science department, especially Ms. Smith and Ms. Powell. We have already decided we are going to have a cross campus PLC. It is so important that when teaching gets stressful to surround yourself with an amazing team and group of friends.  I am so fortunate to have found that at Rouse.”

“Believe it or not, I’m going to miss worknights. My newspaper staff truly became a family when we sat together for dinner and shared our stories of what had been good and bad about our week. And I’ll miss working with the students and seeing their ideas turn into beautiful and tangible stories, photos and designs. I’ll also miss being on the sidelines. There’s something incredible about being in that moment, witnessing history and then getting to share it with Raider Nation.”

“I have worked at Rouse only since last October, but I am a parent of a Rouse High School alum who graduated in 2014.  Leaving Rouse will be sentimental for me as it has been a part of my family’s life since 2010. Working here has given me an inside view of how tremendously hard the teachers and staff work to provide our students with every opportunity to have a great education and memorable experiences during their years in high school. I wish every parent had the opportunity for this ‘behind the scenes’ glimpse to gain a deeper appreciation for ALL that they (the teachers and staff) do.  Thank you Rouse for your investment into my son, and for giving me the opportunity to work for a great school.”

“Probably the students and then the science department. It was a hard decision to make because I feel so at home here and I don’t have problems with students in my classroom. I love seeing all the kids walk down that I’ve had in class before, but just the opportunity to open a new school and have the opportunity to be a leader at that new school was kind of why I’m going.”
