Mrs. Hendrixson Receives 2022 Carl S. Campion Service Award

During each Catholic Schools week since 2017, Archmere Academy presents the Carl S. Campion Service Award to a member of the Archmere community in recognition of their dedicated service with consistent, selfless giving for the school community, and a commitment to the many facets of Archmere life. Character, dedication, integrity, and humility have defined the lifelong service of Mr. Campion and this year's recipient, Mrs. Hendrixson, who has left her indelible mark at a time when we needed it most.
In an extraordinarily difficult time during this pandemic, Mrs. Hendrixson has been the steady presence that the Archmere community needed as the school’s nurse. Over the past two years, she has dealt with many of the byproducts and stressors of the pandemic. When Mrs. Hendrixson joined Archmere as the school nurse, many were impressed with her professional credentials. “Little did we know how critical her training and experience [as an emergency room nurse] would be as we encounter this pressure-filled world during these stressful pandemic years,” said Mrs. Maher. 

The Athletics Department knows firsthand how giving and caring Mrs. Hendrixson is because of the countless late nights and weekends she has dedicated to ensuring athletes and coaches are safe. Mrs. Sturdivant said that the patience and compassion she has shown to parents and students “have played such a large role in making sure sports continued safety through the pandemic.”

At many inflection points over the past two years, Mrs. Hendrixson has embodied what the term “integrity” means, and assisted Principal Katie Eissler-Thiel in making those tough decisions that have also been the right decisions to make at the moment, like virtual weeks, mandatory testing, and quarantines. Her selfless service to the Archmere community is an example to everyone.
