The Brandywine High School family will never be the same after Mrs. Hinda Tanzer retired on November 13, after 28 glorious years. Over the years, Mrs. Tanzer has shared many of her talents and strengths with us all.
Twenty eight years ago, Mrs. Tanzer began working at Brandywine as a guidance counselor after some time at Mount Pleasant High School. She helped students make important decisions that impacted their personal and academic futures, and was always there when the students needed her most. Then, later in her career at Brandywine, she was moved to an administrative job and served as one of our assistant principals. As an assistant principle, Mrs. Tanzer worked to make sure our learning environment was the best it could be and she was responsible for many other things such as the Block Party, grade reports, and testing.
Mrs. Tanzer has also been a mentor for many of the staff, here at Brandywine. Specifically, Mrs. Tanzer has really helped out Mr. Sheets. “She’s helped me out a lot, especially from moving from the classroom to an administrator,” Sheets said. “I will definitely miss lunch duty; it was a lot of fun covering it with her.” Mr. Davis said, “She was a wonderful role model for the counseling staff, and I enjoyed working with her.”
Many of us don’t know that Mrs. Tanzer is a big sports fan and loves karaoke. One of Mr. Houk’s favorite memories from Mrs. Tanzer was when there was talent show a few years ago and she said she was going to sing, “Don’t you wish your girlfriend was hot like me.” “She had a good sense of humor, and was just fun to be around,” Mrs. Tanzer loved all of the Philly sports teams especially the Phillies and the Eagles. She also loved to go to a lot of the Brandywine sports games, especially the basketball games. She was a “big cheerleader (for the school sports) and had a lot of school spirit”, said Mr. Davis.
One thing definitely is for sure, Mrs. Tanzer will be missed dearly. Student Kathie Wu said, “Mrs. Tanzer was such a great asset to Brandywine. She was not only a dedicated administrator, but she also cared about the well-being of the students here. I’m sure we will all miss her.”
