🚌 52 Years Behind the Wheel!
Help us celebrate Robert Phillips, a Union area legend! Mr. Phillips started driving for Wise County at just 18 years old and has been dedicated to our students for 52 incredible years. He goes on to state, "Wise County has been a good county to work for, or I would have left a long time ago."
For Mr. Phillips, it’s all about the kids. "Getting to know them over the years and seeing those smiles makes the job," he says. While the responsibility of student safety is a heavy task, it’s one he takes immense pride in every single day.
Thank you, Robert Phillips, for over half a century of service and for keeping the Union COMMUNITY moving! 🚍
