Nineteen classified employees of the William S. Hart Union High School District were recognized last week by the Hart District Governing Board as Classified Employees of the Year.

Classified staff members are non-credentialed employees who provide everyday support to the district’s students, teachers and administrators.

They include secretaries and clerical staff, maintenance and custodial staff, computer technicians, campus supervisors, instructional assistants and more.

“These honorees were selected by their school or department for their outstanding service, hard work and commitment to the community, students and staff of our district,” said Terri Shiner, director of classified personnel. “Through their invaluable contributions and specialized services, they provide instructional, technical, and administrative support, as well as a safe and healthy environment in which to work and learn.”

All of the district’s Teachers of the Year and Classified Employees of the Year will be honored at a luncheon this fall, in addition to the Governing Board recognition.

Their portraits will be on display in the district’s Administrative Center for the 2014-15 school year.
