Principal's Message
It is with a strong mix of emotions that send this message, my last for a few weeks. As I welcomed the students into the building this morning, I became overwhelmed. The sea of pink shirts, wristbands, socks, and even hair brought me to tears. YOUR children have demonstrated genuine care and concern for me. They have also expressed encouragement and faith in me to persevere. Trust me, I will. This school and community it serves has become a family, one I am proud to be a part of. I can't wait to return!
Thank you all!
Sincerely,
Alison Cleveland
Principal
Welcome Mr. Williams
He brings over forty years of experience in North Carolina Public Schools, retiring from the position as WCPSS Senior Director for high school programs in 2014. Since that time, he has served in several roles in WCPSS, most recently as Interim Principal to open this school year at Green Level High.
When he was selected to open Middle Creek High School in 2002, he fondly recalls a visit to the Wakefield community with school administrators and others to acquire advice and knowledge about engaging a new school community. Wakefield became a benchmark for him. He told me, "As a native of Wake County and product of the school system, I've watched the Wakefield community form, grow, and prosper. I'm excited to serve amidst the strength and vibrancy of a strong place with great people."
He will direct an excellent and able group of WMS leaders to reach consensus about the management of any issues during my brief absence. Expect no changes of routines, processes, or procedures unless they relate to safety and general welfare.
You may reach him at jwilliams10@wcpss.net.
