CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--And the winner of the 2021 Cintas Custodian of the Year contest is… Mr. Heiry! With over 70,000 votes, Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS) crowned Mike Heiry of North Allegheny Intermediate High School the 2021 Cintas Custodian of the Year. Nearly 800 students congratulated Mr. Heiry with a surprise hybrid ceremony held virtually and in the school's auditorium.

"It's clear that Mike is a beloved member of the North Allegheny Intermediate community, and we are thrilled to honor Mike as this year's 2021 Cintas Custodian of the Year."

Mr. Heiry consistently goes out of his way to create a clean and safe learning environment for students, faculty and staff. His upbeat energy and kindness have left a positive impact on North Allegheny Intermediate students and staff, which earned him 20% of the contest's total votes cast for the 10 national finalists.

"This is an incredible achievement for Mr. Heiry, and we are honored to recognize him as the nation's top custodian," said Marta Aebischer, Vice President of Marketing, Rubbermaid Commercial Products. "Year after year, we're completely blown away by the hard work and dedication these men and women put in every day especially this past year, playing a pivot role on the front line of the pandemic."
