(FOX NEWS) – A man in California is inspiring others for his career journey from janitor to elementary school principal.
Mike Huss, 55, is the new principal at Ione Elementary School, a K-to-6 public institution in Ione, a small city in California’s Amador County that’s roughly 34 miles southeast of Sacramento. Huss said he attended Ione Elementary School as a child and remained a student in the district until he reached eighth grade.
As an adult, Huss was a constant figure at Ione Elementary School during the years he served as a nighttime janitor — from 1989 to 2003 — and then as a teacher from 2003 to 2022. “For me, living it, it’s like no big deal. But former students of mine are saying, ‘You have no idea what this meant to me,'” Huss told Fox News Digital during a phone interview.
