OLYMPIA –– Every year, the AWSP Board President selects someone to receive the AWSP President’s Award. The award goes to someone who is a relentless advocate for principals and assistant principals, and the principalship, in the education of each and every student (AWSP’s mission). Woody Howard, the 2024-25 AWSP Board President and principal at Ben Franklin Elementary School in Vancouver Public Schools, selected Erin Lucich this year. Erin is the Director of School Improvement and Educational Leadership in ESD 112.
"Being a school principal is a complex job. Erin has worked to ensure principals in Southwest Washington can connect with ESD 112, AWSP, and each other to receive the support they need in order to meet the needs of the students and families they serve. Her experience and keen insights are truly appreciated and make her deserving of the President's Award," says Woody.
