Walla Walla Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Ben Gauyan presented Pam Jacobson, District Data Security and Student Records Coordinator, with the Coin of Excellence on August 17, 2026.
Jacobson led the district's transition from Skyward to Qmlativ, a process that required cleaning and organizing district data over two years. Dr. Gauyan stated her expertise and leadership were critical to the district becoming the 200th in Washington to successfully migrate to Qmlativ.
The Coin of Excellence program, created by Dr. Gauyan, recognizes staff demonstrating extraordinary commitment. Jacobson's work ensured a smooth transition that impacted families, staff, and students across the district.
