For the second straight year, varsity baseball and softball were recognized as two of the best teams in Mid-Michigan. Ranked #6 in the state, the Hornet baseball team is the top seed in the Dean Shippey Capital Diamond Classic. The CAAC Red Conference Champion WCS softball team was one of eight teams selected to play in the Hall of Fame Softball Classic.

Williamston bands have continued a long tradition of excellence throughout the 2024-2025 school year. Both the middle school and high school programs have earned numerous collective awards, and individual student musicians have also been selected for an array of special recognitions.

The Williamston Elementary Art program presented a special art exhibition of student work. In keeping with the National Parks theme, students created paintings, ceramic pieces, and other illustrations depicting landscapes and wildlife. In addition to thousands of individual selections, classrooms from Young Fives through Fifth Grade also created murals focused on a specific national park.

Students from throughout the District contributed to the annual event facilitated by the WCS Fine Arts Department. Activities included the Spring Art Competition and a wide variety of musical performances.

Williamston Middle School Educator and Michigan Region 6 Teacher of the Year Cassandra Eberhardt presented to the State Board of Education. Her talk focused on the impact of mental health on student learning. Ms. Eberhardt highlighted the student support model at Williamston Middle School and how it has resulted in positive outcomes for both students and staff.

The Williamston High School First Robotics team advanced to the semifinals of the East Kentwood district event. The team overcame significant damage to their robot from the previous weekend's competition. Williamston Vespidae (Team 7818) was a finals alliance captain at the event, placing them as one of the final eight teams for the competition.

The safety of students is the foremost consideration when evaluating if school should be canceled. There are several variables in the final decision. They include:

1. An early morning report from our Director of Facilities and Operations on road conditions in Williamston
2. Input from law enforcement, the road commission, and staff from neighboring districts
3. Consultation with Superintendents from other Ingham County Districts

If the temperature is 20 degrees or more below zero (with or without wind chill), school will be automatically canceled.

Online Enrollment Center
