New Faces at M.A.: Takisha Randle, Parking Lot Security Guard

Security service hired due to parking lot concerns

A new security guard, Takisha Randle, has been patrolling the Upper School parking lot this year. Mike Huray, financial director at MA, played a large role in choosing to hire Interstate Security Services, which now places guards at both campuses, and he oversees their work.

“We hired them because we saw an increase in incidents occurring, primarily things like windows being broken and items being taken from cars,” he said. “So we hired security to act as a deterrent, really, and having them driving around with marked cars and flashing lights on the car and uniformed officers, and it’s been effective.”

According to Huray, people appreciate and respect the officer. 

“We’ve heard a lot of positive feedback,” he said, “[from] students, employees, and parents of students.”

Huray also wanted to remind students to check their emails frequently, since “we send out email reminders to students and employees.” about security concerns.
