The Oftentimes Unknown But Always Needed School Employees

Your focus for attending school can consist of hanging out with your friends, attending school activities, and, oh yes, getting an education for your future. Yet, in order to have a safe, secure environment at school, there are the oftentimes unknown, but always needed employees who are vital for the school’s operation. Do you know who they are?
