Georgia School Janitor of 23 Years Graduates College With A Degree in Education
An Georgia school janitor for the last 23 years has graduated from college with a degree in education. Tylan Bailey is now ready to change careers and become a teacher.
“Just walking through these halls every day, you’re surrounded by education. Each corner of this building, education. So why not be a part of that,” Bailey told WSBTV 2.
Over the last 23 years Bailey has worked at Hightower Elementary School in DeKalb County as its head custodian.
“He’s the kind of person you want in your building, on your side,” Principal Sheila Price told the news outlet. “It’s a bittersweet moment because we love him and we want to keep him here. But we know this is a huge step and we support him. We’re here for him for whatever he needs.”
In 2017, Bailey started his journey to become a teacher when he began attending classes at Georgia State University while still working part-time.
Now Bailey is looking forward to teaching soon, and has completed multiple job interviews.
