For the past 25 years, 2019 staff member of the year Doug Tanner has been working as a custodian for Fluvanna County High School. Every day Tanner can be seen throughout the halls of the school helping clean up after over 1,600 students and staff members who walk through the doors. He spends most of his time cleaning the floors, tables and bathrooms; he also helps straighten up the cafeteria between lunches. When not cleaning, Tanner changes light bulbs, makes sure that there is enough paper in the copiers in the teachers’ lounges, and repairs equipment.
Though Tanner said that he would describe his typical day as “busy,” he said that he still enjoys his job, adding that his favorite thing is being able to work around the other teachers and students. He said that he feels “very nice” about being selected as both high school and Fluvanna County staff member of the year.
