SUPPORT STAFF OF THE YEAR

NINA HARDIN

Nina Hardin began her career with the Chandler Unified School District in 1997 as a teacher’s aide at Jacobson Elementary School, where her three daughters attended school. In 2005, Nina was hired by Hamilton High School’s first principal, Fred DePrez, as the school’s receptionist. Over the past nineteen years, Nina has been a welcoming first point of contact for thousands of students and their families. Even though Nina describes herself as “only a small piece of the Hamilton puzzle,” she has been awarded “Support Staff of the Month” six times. While she shares that she is humbled and appreciative of her award, she sees former students who return to Hamilton to say hello and share their accomplishments as the biggest reward of her job.
