Theme for the 2007-08 School Year
(9/07) Each year, we choose a theme to focus on for the academic year.  The themes have all come from either Mr. Williamson’s words or from the Bible.  They are designed to identify a characteristic of the life of a Williamson man, and they give us a chance to integrate that character quality into the year’s program in a special way.

Williamson in the Community – A Look Back at 2006-07
(9/07) In keeping with Isaiah Williamson’s original vision of this School, Williamson encourages all students to participate in projects that serve the community.  Through these special opportunities, students experience professional and personal fulfillment helping them develop into the “respected members of society” envisioned by the founder.

Projects may lead Williamson students around the corner or around the globe.  Earlier this year, 44 Williamson students spent their winter break in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, working to rebuild and restore the town which suffered insurmountable damage in the wrath of Hurricane Katrina (pictured).  Later in the year, a group of 14 members of the Williamson family traveled to Paraiso, Dominican Republic to complete construction on the hospital they started on 11 years ago.
