Humans of DHS: Catherine Basso, secretary to principal

“The overall size of the school  and the amount of teacher and students that I deal with on an everyday basis [has been the biggest challenge]. I worked as an assistant property manager in Danbury before. There are more similarities than differences.  It is a fast paced environment that can be extremely demanding. When I went to college I was going for psychology; I was looking to do speech pathology but I didn’t continue with that. I saw an ad for the secretary for the principal and it looked interesting and fun… so I applied for it and took a shot. I love it — the kids are great, the people are great.”
