hat does it mean to be a part of a community? At Williston it means that you’ll find a lot of great people who do a lot of interesting things and who are really interested in what you are all about. Here people don’t see themselves as just one thing or one “type” of student. Our football players act in the play, our soccer players sing with the Caterwaulers or Widdigers, our artists are good at geometry. One of our best math students also climbs mountains.
Because no one is restricted to being a part of just one group, great collaborations happen here all the time, both inside the classroom and out. You could find yourself with your geometry class at an art gallery along with your friends who are taking drawing, because your teachers work closely with each other. You could collaborate with your sister on a website about a topic that’s really important to you, like Olivia and Abbie Foster have. Or you could find that your very best friend is someone who comes from a completely different background than you do, but he or she still knows you better than anyone. In a great community, everyone knows each other and genuinely cares about each other. That’s what you’ll find here at Williston. Here, everyone wants everyone else to succeed—and every day, our students experience the joy of not just having succeeded, but being able to share that success with people who care.
