Welcome, Mr. Wilson!
Dear Catawba Ridge Families,
For those who don't know me:
- I don't talk a lot. I'm a "bullet-point" kind of guy.
- I am a good listener. Contact me with any questions or concerns.
- Faith & Family are my 1st priorities, followed closely by my dedication to this school and our district.
- I am a coach at heart. I like to win, which means I expect everyone to do their best and "Do Right" and I expect the same of our leaders, including me.
- If we are not succeeding, individually or as a team, my goal is to determine why and to make corrections.
- I know respect is earned. I will work hard every day to earn yours.
- I am present on Main St. before school, between bells, and during lunch and encourage students to come to me with ideas, questions, or just to say "hey". I realize this might take some time.
- With over 25 years of service to this school district, I am in this for the long haul. My wife, Jennifer, is an AP at Fort Mill Middle School, and our 4 children all attend (or have attended) Fort Mill Schools (our oldest is a freshman at Clemson). I was born here, and this is where I plan to stay.
- I am very excited to be your Principal!
Darren Wilson, Principal
