Today the Board recognizes an employee of the school system for over 28 years. He is courteous, positive, friendly, respectful, and professional to everyone he interacts with. He strives for excellence in all tasks, big and small, and keeps working until things are finished to perfection.

Jason Rush, Facilities Engineer at the Center of Applied Technology - North

Mr. Rush is the first to volunteer when anyone needs help. He checks in with the customer after completing even the smallest tasks to make sure everything was done correctly, and he goes above and beyond to keep the building in perfect shape. He never rests, he’s constantly on the move, tackling any job he can find throughout building and he follows through quickly, competently, and professionally on absolutely everything he offers to do.

Jason’s contributions to the positive environment at the Center of Applied Technology – North don’t stop with keeping the building running like a well-oiled machine. He interacts with students and staff in a number of ways, too. CAT-North is a unique school with unique programs and a few unique pieces of equipment, but in every case – Jason is just the man for the job, thanks to his calm and approachable demeanor. Jason is the perfect example of the “whatever it takes” approach that helps make CAT-North a safe, supportive, and positive environment for students, staff, and families.
