Ward, a Career and Technical Education educator, has spent decades helping students gain practical skills in areas such as career readiness and financial literacy. Known for her steady leadership and commitment to student success, she has played a key role in shaping both classroom experiences and the broader school culture at Davis High.
The Lifetime Achievement Award celebrates educators whose sustained dedication positively impacts generations of students and leaves a lasting imprint on their schools.

District leaders highlighted that honoring educators like Ward underscores the importance of long-term dedication in education and the profound role teachers play in shaping communities.
