Biography

About Karin Ward

My dad was a teacher at Tucson Unified. He told me I was crazy to go into teaching, but I did anyway. After graduating from college in Tempe in 1981, I began my teaching career in a second grade classroom at Paradise Valley School District. I moved to the middle school where I taught computers, social studies, and Spanish...oh, and met my husband. We moved to Chino Valley to raise our children and chickens. I finished my masters in educational leadership from Northern Arizona University. I left the classroom after twenty years. After being a principal at Liberty Traditional School for three years, I felt called to come to Beaver Creek as the principal and superintendent. I began as a Creeker in 2004 and LOVE being here. The families are wonderful. The community is amazing...just look at the new buildings paid for by taxpayers voting in a bond. The only reason we come to work every day is to make a difference in the lives of our students. Thank you for entrusting your children to us!

About Ori Womack

I was born and raised in Rimrock where my family has deep roots. I began with Beaver Creek School in 2016 as a paraprofessional in order to share a schedule with my two young children. Over the years, I have grown my skills with the great mentoring of the past administration and am proud to be the business manager for the district. My children have grown and moved on to high school, but I remain dedicated to our wonderful district. I cherish all the wonderful relationships I have gained with staff and students each year and look forward to the fresh start of a new school year!

About Devon Artrip

I have been with Beaver Creek School since the 2016/17 school year. My classroom runs on caffeine, laughter, and the randomness of what kids think and do. I became a teacher after working as a colorguard/tall flag advisor at Orange High School in California and teaching art and life skills at Northern Arizona Boys & Girls Clubs in Cottonwood and Sedona. When I'm not at school I enjoy spending time with my family and doing what I call "gansta granny" activities, like gardening and embroidery.

About Jeff Clarke

Hi, my name is Jeff Clarke and I have been teaching for 18 years. I received my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Northern Arizona University and my master’s in Curriculum and Instruction from Grand Canyon University. For 15 years I have been teaching here at Beaver Creek School. Within those years I have taught 5th-8th grade math, science, and social studies. At one time, I taught K-8th computers. I have also coached basketball, cross country, and now mountain biking. My inspiration for teaching comes from the wonderful teachers and coaches that I had growing up. Specifically, my fourth-grade teacher Mrs. Franklin and my two junior high basketball coaches Mr. Whitman and Ron Franklin.

About Jessica Lux-Herrera

I have been a special education teacher for approximately 17 years, and this will be my fourteenth year at Beaver Creek School. To say I absolutely love and adore all children is an understatement. Working with special needs children is my passion. Seeing their faces and their eyes light up when learning a new concept is what drives me to be their number one cheerleader. I want my students to know that they are capable of anything they put their minds to and with hard work and perseverance, they can achieve any goal they set their minds to. Learning comes in many different ways as well as success, and we celebrate every milestone my students achieve. I love teaching, and I also love learning from my students. Every year I will continue to advocate for my students and teach them to advocate for themselves so they can be the very best they can possibly be. I so look forward to working with my students this year and watching them become smarter, more confident, and knowing they always have a safe and loving environment when they are away from home.
