Operations Department

The Operations department consists of the Operations Supervisor and 37 Buildings and Grounds workers. The Operations department handles the daily and seasonal cleaning of over 400 classrooms as well as offices, gyms, science centers, and the Center for the Arts.

This Department also assists with special events and provides support for the many community groups who use our facilities seven days a week.
