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!

Biography

About Devon Artrip

I am a fifth-year Kindergarten teacher whose classroom runs on caffeine, laughter, and the randomness of what little kids think and do. I became a teacher after my first time working as a color guard/tall flag advisor at a High School in California, and while teaching art and life skills at Northern Arizona Boys & Girls Clubs in Cottonwood and Sedona. When I’m not at school, I am spending time with my husband and our many fur babies, gardening, creating fine art photography and remodeling various rooms of my home after watching too many home improvement shows on HGTV.

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 13 years and this will be my 10th 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 there 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.
