Lead custodian keeps school clean

Huerta works hard behind the scenes
Lead custodian keeps school clean

Luis Huerta has been the lead custodian for Trinity Service since September of 2023 after having been credit advisor at a bank. He loves his job and puts passion into it. Huerta said, “My parents taught me to do everything with all my might and to thank God for having what I have.” He takes care of the majority of the parts in the school in terms of cleaning, coming to school before most arrive and leaving when most students and faculty have already gone home.

On a regular schedule day, he starts by sweeping the streets that surround the school. Afterwards, he focuses on the cafeteria, especially in cleaning the tables and microwaves to make sure that everything is fine when students get there for lunch; following this, he cleans the windows of the main doors, and in the end he takes out the trash of the late lunch.

Like every other job, there are difficult parts, and in this one is the cleaning of the football stands because of the difficulty of going under them to take out the trash.

People often see that everything is clean, the cafeteria, the hallways, but rarely do people realize the work that has been behind it all. Huerta feels appreciated at this school because many people notice the work he does and thank him.

Mauro Vega ’26 said, “That is why I feel thankful for all the cleaning staff.”

Some students have seen an improvement in the school in terms of cleaning and organization. Paul Ha ’25 said, “Everything in the school is very clean, especially around the cafeteria. There are a lot of people eating there every day and it is still clean!”

Huerta is definitely one of the hardest working people in the school. Andrew Colville, Director of Facilities, said, “Luis has a great work ethic. He is very thorough with his tasks, and always stays busy. You really can’t ask for much more than that. We are lucky to have him on campus.”
