2023 Service Recognition Honorees
Harford County Public Schools recently held its Annual Employee Service Recognition program honoring our 5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 years of service honorees. This year, roughly 10% of our entire workforce received a service recognition honor. Two hundred and four (204) staff members have achieved 5 years of service with HCPS, and 292 staff members have completed 10, 20, 30, and 40 amazing years serving our students. Collectively, all of this year’s honorees have contributed 6,180 years of service to our students and school system.
A message from Ben Richardson, Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources:
"I would like to personally thank each one of our service recognition honorees for your years of service and for making a difference in the lives of the students we serve. Together, we take pride in your accomplishments and your continued commitment to excellence. I am honored to serve beside each and every one of you as a member of the HCPS team. Thank you for always making Harford County Public Schools Shine Bright.
Please join me in congratulating this amazing group of employees who are recognized for milestone years of service in 2023."
