D-86 Superintendent Gets Top Award
Tammy Prentiss is recognized for her outreach to the community, spokesman says.
HINSDALE, IL — Tammy Prentiss, superintendent of Hinsdale High School District 86, has won a top award from a school association.
The district learned this week that Prentiss is receiving an Award of Merit in the Administrator category as part of the Distinguished Service Awards Program sponsored by the state chapter of the National School Public Relations Association.
"These awards recognize those who make a difference in their school communities by helping to promote public education and enhance its programs and services," district spokesman Chris Jasculca said in an email. "Nominees are evaluated on their ability to support or improve understanding and communication in the school/district; foster cooperative partnerships between the school and community; and strengthen the overall support for education by stakeholders."
