While many of us are enjoying summer vacation and spending time with friends and family, the Eagle High School maintenance staff and custodians are hard at work keeping our campus clean, safe, and running smoothly.

We are incredibly grateful for everything our custodians and maintenance team do behind the scenes, especially during the summer months. We always feel so well taken care of at Eagle High. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication!
