Former Carroll Fowler Elementary teacher, author, and local historian Mildred Lucas called Ceres home for nearly 70 years. In 1976, she wrote a history of Ceres and its surroundings and in 1979, she was named the Ceres Citizen of the Year. CUSD’s Lucas Elementary Dual Language Academy is named for Mrs. Lucas and her husband, Grant, who was a founding member of the CUSD Board of Trustees. Mrs. Lucas is pictured at the 2012 groundbreaking ceremony for the school named in her honor. #WomensHistoryMonth

Continuing our #WomensHistoryMonth series honoring women who were and are notable contributors to education in the Ceres community, meet Patricia Kay Beaver. The district’s K-8 Leadership Magnet school is named in honor of this longtime educator whose love for Ceres, and commitment to making a difference for its students, were reflected in her community service and work as a Ceres High School teacher and club advisor. Sadly, Mrs. Beaver passed away on Mother’s Day 2001 after battling cancer. How fitting that her daughter, Libby Callahan, serves as Principal of the school named in her honor.
This morning, three outstanding CUSD students were honored by the Stanislaus County Office of Education and ACSA Stanislaus Charter for overcoming serious challenges along their path to academic success. Princess Jaime, Princess Janae, and Timothy, you inspire us! 🥰🤩👏
