Crystal: My son has attended Watson Williams for 3 years now. Sadly, he's moving from 5th to 6th grade in the fall and will need to go to a different school. Now that the current Principal, Mrs. Minor is running the school things are really running smoothly. She and all the teachers that I've worked with since my son was in 2nd grade have all been wonderful. They work with and encourage him to do his best. They were the first school to work with my son and make him feel like he could really achieve something special, which he has!
