PLAINVIEW SUPPORT EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR
Harvey Taylor began working for Plainview Schools in August of 1984. At first, his job entailed mowing but soon expanded into custodial duties as well. Harvey proved himself as a hard working and dependable employee. There was no job too big or small that Harvey wouldn’t take on and give his all. If you ever run into Harvey on campus or in town, he always has a smile or something positive to talk about. You will never hear a negative word from Harvey about anyone or anything. These are but a few of the many qualities that has earned Harvey Taylor the respect and admiration of the entire school district, as well as the community. It is only fitting for such a dedicated individual as Harvey is, to be voted Support Employee of the Year for 2011-2012 by his peers.
