Thank you Tammy Hendren!

The Nevada Regional Technical Center had the honor and privilege of recognizing Tammy Hendren for the 23 years she has served Nevada RV and for her 17 years at NRTC. We cannot say enough about the impact she has had on the students and staff at NRTC. 

Time will prove that her influence on our campus was enduring. For 17 years (with numerous Instructors and countless Directors) Tammy has been a rock…a stalwart defender and advocate for Career and Technical Education. But more than that, she has been the life support system for students and staff in need of her patient guidance and expertise. 

She always carries herself with grace, thoughtfulness, deep empathy, and generosity. Her work ethic is beyond reproach. More than any other signal person, Tammy has defined the culture of this fine school. 

This year was Ms. Hendren’s last year with students…but it will not be the last day she improves the lives of the people she touches. 

Thank you Tammy Hendren.
