North Central’s Myah Rodriguez pursuing her own history after beating cancer

Myah Rodriguez’s favorite subject is history, but she’s failing in the all-important subject of North Central High School Sports Trivia.

Last week, the NC senior and volleyball player walked into the main office the morning after a big win over Rogers High School. She was greeted by principal Steve Fisk, who offered a high-five along with a question:

“Do you know the last time NC started the volleyball season 2-0?”

Fiske let the question hang. Rodriguez shrugged, and Fisk let the room know that it had been six long years.

Everyone smiled because everyone loves a winner. That’s fine with Rodriguez, whose specialty is helping others win – on the court as a setter, in volunteer work in the classroom and as leader of a record-setting food drive at North Central.

Rodriguez also has a 3.8 grade-point average and plans to major in history next year at Western Washington University.

One day she hopes to teach history.
