The federally funded Job Placement Program for Metropolitan Nashville Schools under her direction (1982-1984) was acknowledged as the most successful program in the nation for high school students.
Dr. Hendrick also taught graduate classes at Peabody, Trevecca, Fisk, Tennessee State University and Vanderbilt as an adjunct professor.
She spoke for National Career Education conferences in Redding, CA (in 1981) and Louisville, KY (in 1983).
​
In 1985, the East Nashville graduating class of 1965 honored her as the Outstanding Teacher at their twenty year reunion. In 1999, she was selected as the outstanding Middle Tennessee guidance counselor by her peers and in 2000, she retired from the Metropolitan Nashville public school system.
