Round of Applause: Tami Chargois

Tami is an absolute dream to work with. She is efficient, thoughtful, and has the ability to see potential issues before they arise. She and I collaborated on our recent HR Council meeting and despite some last-minute adjustments, Tami rolled with everything and made sure everything was handled. I can’t say enough about how much I enjoy working with her – we couldn’t have done it without her!

When the new sensitivity labels kicked in and I had trouble getting one of my database features to work, Doug found me a workaround and got me back in fighting form in no time. I really appreciate how quickly he was able to get me up and running again and all the patience he shows me on the regular!

In TiJuana’s short time of working here she has demonstrated that she knows what it means to work within a team!

An integral piece of P-12’s work, Caleb’s leadership and expertise has shined throughout the year.

These major projects were made much easier thanks to Caleb! (he also knows all of the good lunch spots)
