35 Years and Counting
Dr. David Williams believes, through 35 years of experience as a teacher, coach, administrator, and serving four years on the Escambia County School District School Board, that sustained educational success in our school district relies upon the following four foundational pillars:

Community
Develop relationships with community leaders, mentoring programs, law enforcement, health services, military families, mental health agencies, and afterschool care services.
Pathways
Build a complete continuum of cradle-to-college/career educational programs that prepare our students for careers and college readiness upon graduation.
Culture
Our school system must acknowledge and embrace strategies that help us learn from one another and promote a sense of worth and belonging for all students.
