With approximately 20-40 employees (depending on the season) during the school year, the Grounds Department is able to provide many students with job opportunities. Students working for this department enjoy a flexible work schedule, typically afternoon or evening hours, which is conducive for academic pursuits.

Grounds workers are assigned to crews ranging from three to eight students each. Every crew has a designated area and supervisor, either staff or student, who is responsible for overseeing that area.
