Celebrating the Don Hendricks Partnership Award Recipient The Don Hendricks Partnership award is the highest honor that a partner in Education can receive. Since its inception in 2002, this award is always given to a partner who best exemplifies the mission of the Partners in Education program and demonstrates loyalty to the school system and to the community.

Cindy began as a room mom and further became involved as a mentor and in parent organizations, school councils, and Education SPLOST/Bond committees. At the district’s alternative program, she organized business leaders to serve as guest speakers to help at-risk students plan for their futures beyond school.
