Jayme Caughron, GRTS Director, presented Mrs. Dodson with the award on Tuesday evening, April 26, at the Hale High School Awards Banquet. In addition to receiving a plaque, Mrs. Dodson's name has been added to a perpetual plaque which is displayed at GRTS, and she is featured here on the school's website.

Mrs. Dodson has always worked closely with GRTS faculty and staff to do what is best for students and to help those students advance their career goals. She is kind and caring, yet she works with teachers to set clear expectations and hold students accountable for the effort they put into their technical programs. Mrs. Dodson emphasizes to students that with the right technical training, academic preparation, and work ethic and leadership skills, they can succeed at whatever they endeavor. She is most deserving of this award!
