A joke manifested into reality, longtime substitute teacher for Rochester Community School Corporation, Barbara McGee, was honored with her very own 'senior parking spot' in front of Rochester High School earlier this week. The parking sign had been paid for by a generous donation from Kathie Adams. After 53 years working for the school district, the honor was a complete surprise for McGee. 

McGee says during the past five decades, the students are what have kept her going, and continue to motivate her. 

McGee believes over the years her students have taught her just as much as she has taught them. She hopes to put the parking spot to good use for not just this year, but many years to come. McGee says even after 53 years, retirement is not something she's looking for in her future.
