As I enter my eighth year as the Superintendent at Willard City Schools, the district will focus on implementing Focus 3 and The Leader in Me.  It is my privilege to work with a team of inspiring educators who encourage, challenge, support and celebrate student learning.  Whether our staff is driving a school bus, preparing meals, engaging families and parents, maintaining facilities, administrating a school or program, or teaching our students, our staff members are integral to ensuring that our schools are highly effective in the learning process.

Our vision remains: WCS will improve reading and math achievement for ALL students by creating a culture of high expectations with application based lessons following the UDL framework with an explicit focus on improved communication between students, staff, and the community.

Communication between home and Willard City Schools is vital and plays an integral role in each student’s success. We encourage you to contact us if/when the need arises, and to stay in the know about your child’s studies, assessments, and school activities. We value your involvement and support in your child’s education and your active participation is key to the success of your young Crimson Flash during his/her school years.

Again, we welcome you to Willard City Schools...a place alive with much energy...enthusiasm...and a high standard of excellence. It is, indeed, a place where opportunities abound!

Yours in education,

Jeff Ritz
Superintendent
