Great Bend USD 428 invites the community to an Open House and Job Fair at its newly renovated Support Services facility, located at 625 East 10th St. The event is scheduled for 3:30-6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 11. The facility houses the Food and Nutrition Department & Central Kitchen, Maintenance, Grounds, and Transportation services, all conveniently located under one roof.

The Open House will provide an opportunity for attendees to explore the facility, gain insight into the services that support Great Bend students and teachers, and understand how this centralized location and important services support a high-quality education in our district.

“The work of our team at Support Services positively impacts students every day,” said Khris Thexton, USD 428 superintendent. “Meals that nourish students, safe transportation, and well-maintained classrooms and buildings – they keep our district running. We encourage parents and community members to stop by, take a tour, enjoy light refreshments, and learn more about how the new facility enhances our ability to serve our schools and community.”

In addition to the Open House, the event will also include a Job Fair. With a variety of openings at the Support Services building, interested candidates can learn more about positions, pay, and benefits available to USD 428 employees.
