HCS honors support employees of the year

Hampton City Schools honored this year’s support employees of the year on Wednesday, May 15, with a reception and recognition during a School Board meeting. Each school, school operations and maintenance, transportation, food and nutrition services, and the school administrative center selected one support employee to represent their school or department for the 2024-2025 school year.
