Brandon Burkhart, Robert Belissimo, board members, and superintendent

Berkeley County Schools is proud to recognize Robert Bellissimo, a custodian at Mountain Ridge Middle School custodian, as our November Distinguished Service Award recipient!

From decorating the teacher workroom for every holiday to surprising staff with thoughtful birthday treats, his efforts go far beyond his role. He even hosts ice cream sundaes, provides games and puzzles, and dresses up for spirit days—all while serving as the evening custodian!

As MRM staff put it, Robert truly has the "heart of a dragon." Thank you, Robert, for your positivity and dedication to Mountain Ridge Middle School.
