Former Carroll Fowler Elementary teacher, author, and local historian Mildred Lucas called Ceres home for nearly 70 years. In 1976, she wrote a history of Ceres and its surroundings and in 1979, she was named the Ceres Citizen of the Year. CUSD’s Lucas Elementary Dual Language Academy is named for Mrs. Lucas and her husband, Grant, who was a founding member of the CUSD Board of Trustees. Mrs. Lucas is pictured at the 2012 groundbreaking ceremony for the school named in her honor. #WomensHistoryMonth
