This week is National School Bus Safety Week and it couldn’t come at a better time! Today we welcomed three brand-new buses to our Heritage fleet.

As you can see in the photos, these new buses replace some of our older models and represent our continued commitment to student safety and reliable transportation. From upgraded safety features to improved efficiency, every investment we make is centered on keeping our Hawks safe on the way to and from school.

A huge thank you to our drivers for their dedication to our students each and every day!
