A New Jersey man started out as a high school custodian. Now, he's about to start his first school year as an assistant principal in the same district.
Taras Petryshyn started out in Clifton Public Schools as a high school student, then a custodian. Now, he's about to start his first school year as an assistant principal in the same district.
"I cannot really explain how special it is," he told CNN. Petryshyn moved to Clifton, New Jersey, from Ukraine in 1997 after his family unexpectedly won a green card lottery. Then a sophomore in high school, he learned English within a year of his arrival and graduated in 2000. "We didn't have much money," he said. His parents both cleaned for a living, so it felt natural for him to take a custodial job at his American alma mater, Clifton High School, in 2001.
