Mrs. Ward is excited to be back in Tigerland as the new elementary school principal!  Over the past 19 years, she has taught nearly all grade levels, with the exception of 1st through 3rd grade, in seven school districts across East Texas. While most of Mrs. Ward's career was spent teaching English Language Arts, she has also been able to teach theater, newspaper, and most recently, elementary p.e. She feels lucky to have been married to Coach Terry Ward for 25 years this December! They are proud parents of Andy, Cooper, and Luke Ward. All three of their boys attended Tenaha ISD, and Luke will be the last one to leave the nest after he graduates this year.

 "I believe public education is more important than ever, and elementary is where your child begins to build a solid foundation of not only academic knowledge, but social, emotional, and physical development as well. TES has an amazing staff from the teachers and paraprofessionals, to our fabulous custodians and cafeteria ladies Tenaha has a long-standing tradition of winning, and this year is no exception; we want to celebrate your child’s accomplishments as they grow academically and socially. This can only happen with all of us working together to ensure success."
