Kevin Garrison: who was he? An employee of Elkhorn Public Schools died in an accident in a construction zone

Following an incident at a Nebraska construction site, an employee of Elkhorn Public Schools passed away.

Elkhorn Public Schools’ maintenance supervisor, Kevin Garrison, passed away after falling into a geothermal well while on the works site close to Elkhorn North High School.

At before 10:30 on Wednesday morning, police were called to the intersection of North 180th Street and West Maple Road in northwest Omaha in reference to an injured party.

When Omaha fire rescue and Douglas County deputies arrived, they discovered the person who had been hurt while working at a job site to the north of the football field.

Harrison went into the high school’s geothermal well to remedy a problem, but Elkhorn Public Schools claims that after entering the well, Harrison stopped responding.

The district said in a statement that he has 20 years of experience with Elkhorn Public Schools.

Kevin was about to start his 20th year as an employee of the Elkhorn Public Schools, where he has been a devoted long-term worker. The district sent an email to staff and families expressing its sympathies to the Garrison family, which includes Kevin’s wife, Deb, the current principal of EPS, and his daughters, Nikki and Rachel, who are also current EPS teachers.
