The third installment of APS Shoutouts! on Tuesday, March 13, honored Michael Dozier, the head custodian at Helen Arnold CLC. APS representatives, including Assistant Superintendent Ellen McWilliams, Director of Community Relations Carla Sibley and Helen Arnold Principal LaMonica Davis recognized Mr. Dozier with a round of applause, words of thanks, and cookies baked by culinary and restaurant management students at North High School. Mr. Dozier (also known as "Uncle Mike" and "Papa Mike" to students) goes above and beyond every day at Helen Arnold. In addition to his regular duties, Mr. Dozier uses his lunch break to tutor fourth grade boys and comes in on the weekends when the Urban League (located in an extension of the same building) has functions. He's even asked his Mt. Calvary Lodge Masonic Group to help Helen Arnold students with various projects. Mr. Dozier is a prime example of what makes Akron Public Schools, in his words, "the best place to be for learning AND working." APS Shoutouts! honors APS employees who go above and beyond in their work for the district. APS chooses and surprises winners (a group, department or individual) every other week.
