Hometown Heroes-Mrs. Jessica Williams

Posted

-Mrs. Williams is such an inspiration to me in both education

and faith. She showed me through her quiet and strong faith what a

woman in Christ can do. She is so caring for everyone and always

has a smile. I am going to miss her when she retires, but I know

that her work for Colleton County School District will continue

through those that respect and love her.

-I’ve known her for a long time. She was my principal at

Hendersonville before I became a principal there. She’s a great

leader, and I’m going to miss her leadership.

-She’s been a wonderful administrator. She has brought this

community together. She has been the epitome of a southern

lady at all times under all kinds of pressure. She’s always put the

children first, and she has always brought a sense of unity to the

whole Colleton County School District.

-I love Mrs. Jessica. I have known her forever. She’s a very huge

inspiration to me. I feel like I’m kind of following in her footsteps.

I went to Winthrop, just like she did, and then I’m coming back and

teaching at one of her schools that she taught at. I just love that I

got to be inspired by her every day.

-It has been a joy to work with her. I’m so proud of the

accomplishments she’s had a superintendent, especially since

we were on the brink of being taken over, and the fact that she

instituted programs and such to bring us away from that. Now we

have students excelling and that is an amazing thing. I’m going to

hate to see her go, but I do understand it’s that time, it’s her season.

-Mrs. Jessica Williams has been a blessing to the county. The

county needed her to step in and do a great job. She’s led the

school district greatly, and the kids are better off for it, and so is

the county.

-Lovely. You can reach her anytime with any concern directly,

so she’s so reachable and a very lovely person.

-When she says that it’s all about the kids, it has always been all

about the kids.

-Miss Williams has always been a dedicated supporter to all of

the teachers and students’ best interests here in Colleton County.

She is a great asset that we will all miss.

-I’ve enjoyed her being my superintendent, but she’s a real

special lady, she really is. She loves children and wants the best

for them.

-Mrs. Jessica Williams is one of the sweetest, understanding,

and respectful people I know.

-She is an awesome leader. I had the pleasure of being her

assistant principal at Hendersonville. The strategies, learning how

to get the culture together, and just everything she does. She’s

been wonderful. She’s a wonderful leader, and she loves everyone.

There’s nothing she will not do for a child.

-I absolutely love Mrs. Jessica. She has done a fantastic

job. She absolutely loves the kids. She’s very passionate about

Colleton County and everything she does. She is thinking about

these kids going forward. I am going to truly miss her. She has

been a diamond in the rough, and I love her, and I’m thankful for

everything that she’s done for us.

-When I told a former educator that Mrs. Jessica Williams

had been made superintendent she said, “She is the best thing

that could happen to the Colleton County School District.” Her

integrity is beyond reproach, and her loving care is what makes her

the exceptional leader and person she is. She will be sorely missed,

but is wished all the happiness that she deserves in her retirement
