Ronda Caton has recently been named Allen ISD’s 2025 PCAT Bus Driver of the Year. Ronda has served as a bus driver for Allen ISD for 29 years and will retire at the end of the school year. This is her second time receiving this honor.
The award is part of an annual recognition program by PCAT, which highlights school bus drivers who demonstrate exceptional leadership, reliability, and care for students. Allen ISD’s honoree is selected each year based on nominations from co-workers, staff, students, and parents.
Drivers are evaluated on attributes including attitude, perseverance, technical skill, and strong relationships with families and students. Each participating district selects one honoree, who is then considered for statewide recognition.
After nearly three decades of service, Ronda plans to pursue her passion for wildlife rehabilitation in retirement.
Congratulations to Ronda on this recognition, and thank you for your years of dedication to the students and families of Allen ISD.
