A Legacy of Leadership: Honoring Superintendent Mr. Scott West
From the elementary school hallways to the superintendent’s office, Mr. West has spent years shaping the heart and future of the Warden School District. Now, as he prepares to close this chapter, we reflect on a career defined by resilience, vision, and unwavering dedication to students, staff, and community. A brief final message from Mr. Scott West:
"Warden Family,
As I prepare to close this meaningful and memorable journey in my professional career, I want to express sincere gratitude to the Warden community, including students, staff, and families. As a district leader, I have grown professionally and personally, thanks to a shared commitment to our students. Thank you for the continuous support, collaboration, and trust you’ve extended throughout my time at Warden School District.
Together, we have many accomplishments that deserve recognition. We have navigated through some of the most challenging times in modern education. Facing a global pandemic, we leaned on one another—not just as colleagues and community members, but as a family. Through uncertainty and hardship, we remained loyal to our commitment to serving students. We maintain safe and secure environments for students and staff, prioritizing health and well-being. We have celebrated the passage of multiple levies, a testament to our community’s belief in the power of public education and in the future of our youth. And most recently, we engaged key stakeholders to develop a comprehensive Strategic Plan that provides a clear, student-centered path forward. These milestones speak to the character of our district—resilient, forward-thinking, and united in purpose.
Thank you for the special memories and experiences. I leave with a heart full of Warden pride!"

A Quiet Voice, A Lasting Echo: Honoring Mrs. Marcus
After 25 years of devoted service to the Warden School District, Mrs. Marcus is preparing to retire but not without leaving behind a legacy that will resonate for years to come.
Straight out of graduate school, she stepped into her role as a speech-language pathologist with a heart full of purpose and a deep love for children. Since then, she’s quietly walked the halls of every campus, always with a kind word, a calm presence, and an unwavering commitment to helping students find their voice, sometimes literally.
Colleagues know her as a gentle but steady force: always pleasant, never loud, and wholly dedicated. She may have dreaded the paperwork, but never the work. The joy of working with children was always her why.
Though she’s officially retiring, she’s not going far. True to her generous spirit, Mrs. Marcus plans to continue volunteering in pre-kindergarten, giving our youngest learners the benefit of her warmth and wisdom.
We thank her for a career spent in service of growth, expression, and care. Her voice may have been soft, but her impact was profound.
