Dennis Hanners: The Protection of ONW



Dennis Hanners walks the halls every day watching out for the students of Olathe Northwest and has done so for over 6 years and enjoys every day of it.

After Hanners service in the Vietnam War he worked in trucking for 26 years. After retiring he was looking for a retirement job when Rockwell Security gave him a job that he had been looking for. Hanners now works for Rockwell Security through Olathe Northwest.

"The best reason for working here is the atmosphere that the students and staff make," Hanners said.

Hanners appreciates the rest of the staff and the great relationships that the staff has with the student body.

"This job is great because it allows me to meet new people and create relationships with people that I may have never met," Hanners said.

Hanners favorite part of the job is public relations because it amazes him that there is around 2000 students and the staff at ONW can relate to every single one of them.

"Being a security guard is great but confrontation with somebody can be hard. Having to tell someone to do something and them not listening is challenging sometimes but it is part of the job," Hanners said.

Olathe Northwest isn't like any other high school to Hanners, he believes Olathe Northwest is a model school and one that others should look up to based on what he sees from other schools around the country.

Hanners looks forward to the future as a security guard at Olathe Northwest. As of right now he has no plans of stoping.

"I will work here for as long as I can walk. I look forward to the new school year every summer and getting back to work," Hanners said.
