The flag at Williams Elementary was lowered to half mast this week to honor the life of Mr. Les Edwards, who was the first principal in school history. He was on the architectural design team prior to the school’s construction and he served as principal from 2003-2005. He was a kind and caring leader that touched the lives of thousands of kids and dozens of teachers throughout his career. After retiring from MCUSD#2 he went on to become a student teacher coordinator at EIU. He was a beloved educator whose terrific smile and comforting laugh will be missed by all of those who were fortunate enough to have known him.

Cartoonist Custodian Mr. Zach Huddleston does a lot more than just keep the building clean at Williams Elementary. His art has been displayed on t-shirts, windows, and white boards for many years at Williams. We are truly lucky to have such a creative custodian in our building.
We would like to give a major shout-out to our awesome media specialist, Mrs. Hettinger and her assistant, Mrs. Gambrill for helping 100's of students with Chromebook exchanges and questions this year! Major props to Mr. Shadwick and his crew as well for overseeing all repairs.
