🌟 Tribute Tuesday Honoring Nancy Whiddon 🌟
Today we celebrate Nancy Whiddon and recognize her years of dedication to Perry High School and the community.
Mrs. Whiddon began her time at Perry High School in the late 1990s and quickly became an important part of student life. Around that same time, she took on a leadership role in the school’s pageant, continuing a tradition that has meant so much to students and families over the years. She also spent many years supporting and helping lead the Rotary Talent Show.
Known by many as a steady and caring presence, Mrs. Whiddon has a unique way of making sure students, faculty, and staff feel supported each day. Her organization, compassion, and willingness to serve have made her a trusted and dependable part of the school community.
Her impact has not gone unnoticed. Mrs. Whiddon was named the 2024 Perry High School Support Personnel of the Year and was recognized at the Perry Chamber’s Hero in Education event in August 2023.
In addition to her work at the school, Mrs. Whiddon has been a driving force behind the Miss Dogwood Pageant, a longtime tradition connected to the Perry Dogwood Festival. Through her leadership, the pageant has provided opportunities for young women to grow in confidence, participate in the community, and earn scholarships for their future.
Beyond her work and service, her commitment to family is just as strong. She and her husband have been married for 45 years, reflecting the same dedication and care she shows to those around her every day.
So many students, families, and coworkers continue to be impacted by Mrs. Whiddon’s kindness and dedication, and her influence is felt throughout the Perry community.
Thank you, Mrs. Whiddon, for all you do and for the positive impact you continue to make.💛
