March 7, 2026 is School Maintenance Appreciation Day and we are blessed with the best. The admin team had this to say about our crew: “Our maintenance team is the best around. Each of them truly cares about making Harrisburg the best possible school for our students, and that really shows in their work ethic every single day. We appreciate the flexibility, effort and craftsmanship our maintenance team puts into our buildings and facilities. They have a wide variety of skills that not only help keep our schools functioning, but in top condition. Matt, Rob, Clark, & Shannon thank you for all you do for our students, teachers, and community.” We also want to give a big shoutout to our 2025-26 high school staff who will keep our grounds looking great through the summer mowing season and to Ryder Crites who has worked tirelessly alongside our maintenance staff this school year to keep our district facilities in top-notch shape.. #BulldawgPride
