Joining her in Middle School leadership is Katie Williams, newly appointed Assistant Director of Middle School. A member of the WPS community since 2008, Williams has served as a teacher, Dean of Students, advisor, coach, and technology manager. Her deep understanding of WPS and authentic relationships with students, faculty, and families provide a strong foundation for her new role.
In High School, Justin Muenker has been promoted to Assistant Director of High School after four years at WPS and 16 years in education. His experience in International Baccalaureate leadership, service learning, andstudent mentorship will help further strengthen the High School experience.
