The Wildkat Word: May 2025
As we wrap up the school year, I find myself reflecting on what an incredible journey this first year has been. From the very beginning, the warmth and hospitality of the Willis ISD community made me feel right at home, and for that, I am deeply grateful.
This year has been full of firsts, not just for me personally, but for our district as we’ve launched new initiatives, celebrated student achievements, and come together in ways that highlight what makes this Wildkat family so special. Whether it was cheering from the stands, walking classrooms, or conversing with parents and staff, I’ve been continually inspired by the heart and dedication that runs through every corner of this district.
Thank you to our teachers and staff who pour their passion into their work each day, our families who partner with us to support student success, and our incredible students who remind us daily of the purpose behind everything we do.
There’s still more to come, but for now, I want to say how much fun I’ve had this year and how honored I am to serve as your superintendent. I’m excited for the road ahead, and proud to be Great on YOUR Behalf.
Have a wonderful and safe summer!
With gratitude,
Dr. Kimberley James
Superintendent of Schools
