🐾💙 DHS Staff of the Month 💙🐾
While most of you were on vacation over the summer, she was here working hard every day. She takes her job very seriously and is thorough and meticulous. She loves to take on the challenge of finding the best prices for items that are needed and will even search for alternatives that might be better options. She is organized and likes clarity. When a document needs improvement, she's always willing to jump in to make it better. She is also our printer magician, as she seems to be able to get it to work when no one else can. DHS is fortunate to have Carey Whidden as a dedicated member of our staff, whose commitment, professionalism, and genuine care for others make a positive impact on our school community every day.
Congratulations Carey Whidden, August Staff Member of the Month!
