The Georgia PTA has selected Mr. Williamson as the 2008
Outstanding Middle School Principal of the Year. Mr. Williamson was
recognized for his support of student achievement and academic success. A
few examples of how Mr. Williamson took this support for academic excellence
beyond the classroom was through three new programs he started last year.
Mr. Williamson restructured the class schedules to
accommodate a 25-minute ‘class’ period in the middle of the day. This time
is known as REAL Time, which stands
for Remediation, Enrichment and Learning.
During REAL Time students can work on homework,
get additional assistance/tutoring from teachers, work on special projects,
or visit the media center or computer center.
PREP: Positive, Responsible, Educated, and Prepared
is an after school program whose aim is to guide young men toward positive
outcomes both academically and socially. A committee of educators and
administrators selects the participants in the program. The strategic goals
of PREP are to increase parental involvement in their children’s lives,
reduce the number of disciplinary referrals to the office for the
participants, and to provide the opportunity for male mentoring. The young
men meet bi-monthly with volunteer male mentors from the community and
discuss a variety of topics including time management, conflict resolution,
literacy, community service, and character.
Mr. Williamson launched the Strive for
Twenty-Five Reading Program to encourage our students to meet the state
guidelines, which say that each student should read at least 25 books
outside of school each school year. The students received their materials in
May so that they could get a jump on reading over the summer months. The PTA
is proud of the programs that Mr. Williamson has initiated since coming to
TRMS in 2004, and for his dedication to our students and their academic
success. |
