The Johnson County School District extends its deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Mrs. Marlene Fitch Ward. Mrs. Ward served both Central Elementary and Johnson County Middle School, always taking great pride in her work and demonstrating a true servant’s heart.
The flag will fly at half-staff on Tuesday in her honor.

Assistant principals play a vital role in supporting students, staff, and school success each day. Leadership, dedication, and commitment make a difference in every school.
Thank you for all you do for our Golden Eagles!
Johnson County School District wishes you a day filled with peace and joy.
School librarians play a vital role in supporting literacy, guiding research, and ensuring students have access to the resources they need to learn and grow.
The impact is seen in every classroom and across our schools.
