After hearing how much it would cost to have professional painters complete the job, Dr. Harnish was concerned that the money would come out of funds needed to pay teachers and fund student supplies.
“That $150,000 would have taken away from kids, or the potential for us to take care of our staff,” he said in an interview.
So he decided to do the job himself, hiring students to help him do it for a fraction of the price. Those that took part learned what it’s like to take pride in their school and help care of the campus.
“It’s neat to be able to give some of these seniors an opportunity to do some of the summer work too,” Dr. Harnish said.
