More Than a Badge (School Resource Officers) | Finding Nebo
What does a School Resource Officer actually do?
It turns out—a lot more than you might think.
In this episode, Lindsey and Seth talk with SROs from across Nebo School District about what their jobs really look like. They discuss school safety, but also the relationships that are at the heart of their work: learning students’ names, teaching classes, showing up at activities, helping students through difficult situations, and becoming another trusted adult students can rely on.
Along the way, we hear about everything from Pizza with the Police and classroom field trips to TikToks, big-wheel tricycles, and why students notice when their SRO isn't at school.
It’s a look behind the badge at the officers who become part of their school communities.

Seth Sorenson Takes the Hot Seat | Finding Nebo
We’re bringing back one of our favorite interviews from the end of last season—and giving it the spotlight it deserves.
Finding Nebo host Seth Sorenson is moving into a new role as Nebo School District’s CTE Program Manager. We talk with Seth about his journey through education, his surprisingly adventurous childhood, his love of technology and heavy machinery, and why his new role in Career and Technical Education feels like such a natural fit.
Seth also shares what he’ll miss about his former role and what he’s most excited about as he heads back into schools to work alongside students and teachers.
And yes, this interview gets a little unusual.
If you’re listening to the podcast, you’ll want to find the video version of this one. There’s more happening in the studio than you might expect.

Be That Friend | Finding Nebo
As a new school year begins, Nebo School District is rallying around a simple but powerful theme: Be That Friend.
Superintendent Rick Nielsen joins Lindsey Hughes and Seth Sorenson to talk about what those three words can mean in our schools and communities. Inspired in part by Dr. Kyle Reyes’ Lenses of Humanity and its focus on connection, reflection, and empathy, Rick shares why some of the people who leave the greatest mark on our lives are those who choose to be “that friend” when we need one.
From teachers who give students a reason to come to school, to coworkers who notice when someone is struggling, to educators reassuring a parent on the first day of kindergarten, being “that friend” doesn’t require being someone’s best friend. Sometimes it simply means recognizing what someone needs in a particular moment and choosing to show up.
As more than 5,000 Nebo employees welcome students back to school, Rick also shares his gratitude for the families who entrust educators with their children and for the people throughout Nebo who bring their best each day to serve them.
Be That Friend. It might make a bigger difference than you know.
