WE ARE WILLIAMS
Many things change over the years. Hair styles. Hair lines. Laugh lines appear. Waistlines disappear. But with all the change, some things remain the same – especially our commitment to excellence and our commitment to you.
YOU are Williams. WE are Williams. TOGETHER we are Williams. We are here today because of you, and we are here for you. The traditions we revere bind us one to another and make us strong. Our Big-Little Brother-Sister Program, our Carol Service, our commitment to Honor before Honors. Each tradition touches new lives through the years and makes us one family.
Our alumni program is new and small, but we have high hopes and big plans.
We are working on an e-mail network so that we can distribute an Alumni Newsletter via the internet. YOU can help by e-mailing Meredith Lauter at mlauter@thewilliamsschool.org so that we can include you in our database.
We are forming an Alumni Council to organize our alumni.
We are planning preliminary alumni events.
We will keep you informed of our progress and hope you will be an active participant. Come and visit, call us, or contact us online. We’d love to hear from you!
