Chosen for this week’s Staff Spotlight is Mr. David Wallis. Mr. Wallis has been in Brooklyn for a year and a half now. Previous to working here, he came from Cuyahoga Heights as he worked there for 16 years. In his free time, he likes to be outside, work with his hands, and play with his daughter. A fun fact about him is that one of his eyes has a different shade of color in it. 

Q: If you could change one aspect about the Brooklyn City School District, what would it be?

A: “I just want to get new and more reliable technology in the students’ and staffs’ hands.”

Q: What is your daily work ethic?

A: “100 percent!”

Q: Did you have any other jobs in mind when you were in college?

A: “I did not because I started working in I.T. in high school. I went to Parker Center for I.T.”

Q: What is the hardest part of your job?

A: “I would say being a detective for figuring out why things are not working; I have to figure out why and how to solve the problems.”

Q: What was your first job?

A: “My first job was working for North Royalton High School as an I.T. student worker.”

Q: What is your biggest pet peeve?

A: “I would say when people are lying.”

Q: If you could have any animal as a pet, what would it be?

A: “I currently have a dog; I love dogs. I do, however, think a cheetah would be pretty cool without the dangerous factor of it.”

Q: What is your go-to meal?

A: “Pizza.”

Thank you for your time, Mr. Wallis. We thank you for all that you do in making Brooklyn a modern, technological school district. We wish you a very Happy Easter and Spring Break.
