Williamson's Vision
By Chancellor Paul A. Reid

One of the privileges of being a part of the Williamson team is the opportunity to be in morning chapel. Every weekday morning we have a chance to renew our perspective on what it means to fulfill the School’s Vision. 

The Vision is not taken directly from the Deed of Trust. Instead it is a statement describing what we see when the mission given to us by Mr. Williamson has been accomplished. Our mission is to prepare deserving young men to be useful and respected citizens. Those words are Mr. Williamson’s. When we close our eyes and imagine a world where that mission has been accomplished we see Williamson men building a better world by building better families, better organizations and better communities. That is our Vision.

And we believe there are thousands of Williamson graduates living out that Vision today. Williamson men are better fathers, husbands, employees, employers, neighbors, community leaders and gentlemen. Williamson is fortunate to be able to verify the substance of its mission by actually witnessing the School’s Vision being lived out. There is much for us to perform more excellently as we carry out the School’s mission, and there is much work to do to be able to sustain it financially - but there is much to confirm that the effort is well placed. Seeing Williamson men build a better world makes all the effort worthwhile.
