Clarke Central High School custodian Tenetha Howard stands in front of the cart she uses to clean CCHS every day. Howard first began working at CCHS in 2022 after leaving her job as an evening supervisor and custodian at an office building. “It was either Cedar Shoals or Clarke Central so I picked Clarke Central,” Howard said. “I love Clarke Central and plus my daughter graduated from here, so when I used to bring her to school I was like, ‘If I could ever get me a job in that school, I am never going no where.” Video by Mzée Pavlić
When the final bell of day rings and the school is quiet, CCHS custodian Tenetha Howard, pushing her large, bright red cart, begins her work on the second floor.
