• Joseph Hughes (4th grade): Joseph is a deep thinking, kind, and family oriented individual, with a world awareness based on history.

• Alex Miller (8th grade): Alex is fun to watch in Cross Country and often leads the pack from start to finish. But what is truly inspiring about Alex is after he finishes the race he stays at the finish line to give his Woodward teammates high fives and compliments. While many exhausted finishers stagger to the team area to get re-hydrated and get some well-deserved food, Alex waits at the finish line and ensures that every single teammate is recognized.

• Shirley Rice (Food Services): Shirley consistently demonstrates an exceptional commitment to going the extra mile to ensure the very best for students. She works hard to ensure students throughout the district have access to fresh, nutritious foods and greets and interacts with students in a positive, friendly, supporting manner.
