"It takes a village to raise a child" - Igbo and Yoruba proverb

The Payson School district is probably the most influential 'village' of Payson's youth. Although not at the forefront of the education process, the facilities department begins their day before the sun rises and continues after the sunsets. The facilities/maintenance teams have a single goal, to provide the safest and most comfortable environment possible. With the tens of thousands of square feet of building over five campuses to the many miles of pathways in and around campus, the facilities team ensure safety and comfort is job “1”.

From the classroom to the sports field, learning never stops. The facilities teams work continuously to ensure all fields and sports facilities are maintained to exacting standards.

Whether it is in the classroom or on the sports facilities, the facilities teams are behind the scenes making sure no detail is missed and every event is positive for our students.
