8 Years in District 308, 22 Years in Education

“Nancy has worked for the district for more than 7 years as data processor for the employee database at the District Administration Center. She was always a team player, hard worker and brought a smile in to the office every day.  Nancy's attention to details, organization and dedication to our department will be missed.”

-Director of Human Resources Kristy Kuntz

In 1969, Nancy Potts began working in the banking industry in her home state of Missouri. After six years, she decided to trade working with numbers for working with children. From 1979-90 Nancy worked as a preschool teacher at Rockwood Baptist Church in Independence, Missouri. Then in 1990, she accepted a position to work with junior high students as the school secretary at James Bridger Junior High in the Independence School District.

At both the preschool and junior high levels, Nancy was able to work in the buildings where her two children attended. During her 14 years in the Independence District, she served as the president of the Secretary Association. A move to Illinois with her husband in 2004 brought Nancy to District 308 where she worked as a data processor in the Human Resources Department for eight years, before retiring in December 2012.

While Nancy will always remember all the laughter and camaraderie at the district office, she is looking forward to returning to her home town of Independence and traveling, quilting and enjoying the company of her five grandchildren.
