Behind the Scenes: HCS custodians prepare schools for a new year

Have you ever wondered what goes on in a school during summer vacation? Well, our custodians are a huge component to getting schools ready for when our teachers and students return in August.

They spend hours deep cleaning the school, disinfecting the restrooms, shampooing carpets, and cleaning and waxing the floors. In addition, they clean the outside grounds, as well as cleaning the windows and high dusting.

"Long before students and teachers walk through our doors, our custodians are hard at work making sure every school is clean, safe, and ready for learning,” said Hector Rodriguez, Hampton City Schools custodial services manager. “Their hard work and dedication throughout the summer help create welcoming spaces where students can thrive, and we are incredibly thankful for everything they do behind the scenes."

We thank these men and women for their dedication in working in our schools to get them ready for teaching and learning!
