Name: Mary Glover

Position: Paraprofessional, Hughson High

Years in the district: 17

Favorite memories/accomplishments: I enjoyed being able to work in many different classrooms with many different teachers and students. I began as a lunch and playground supervisor at the elementary school and a tutor for the AVID program at the high school. I then became a one-on-one for a student for seven years. The last few years I have been a paraprofessional in the special education department at the high school. I have also been a volleyball coach, clock operator and scorekeeper for boys basketball for six years and volunteered with the Taste of Hughson for over 10 years. I love working with students and seeing how unique they all are. I know they have taught me more than I have taught them.

What will you miss the most? I am going to miss all the activity and energy that working at a school brings. I will also miss that moment when a student ultimately understands a tough assignment.

Any special retirement plans? I am going to travel as much as possible to search for the best place to live when my husband retires.
