MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Custodial Department is to provide a clean, safe and secure environment in which learning may take place at the highest level. By doing this, we will be doing our part to help Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District recruit, retain, educate and graduate its students.

Our overall goal is to be the most efficient and effective custodial operation in the state and beyond. To accomplish this goal our custodians will be trained to the highest standards and be provided with all the resources necessary to deal with the complicated array of situations that arise in the cleaning industry.
