From the desk of Acting Superintendent Ray Williams
District 215 is more than just a workplace to me; it is a community I care deeply about. I have seen generations of students walk through our doors, each bringing new energy, challenges, and hope for the future. I have taught students and then witnessed their children matriculate through District 215. I have witnessed firsthand the commitment of our educators, the support of our families, and various school boards working together to ensure our students thrive.
As Acting Superintendent, my goal is to ensure a smooth and steady continuation of the important work already underway. I am committed to listening, learning, and leading with transparency and integrity. As my colleagues and many families have heard me say, “We win together, or we lose together.” Let’s WIN! I am committed to partnering with all stakeholders, so we will continue to build on our strengths, address our challenges with courage, and keep every student at the center of our mission.
I look forward to partnering with each of you in the months ahead. Please know that my door is always open, and your voice matters. Thank you for your continued trust and support.
With gratitude,
Mr. Raymond Williams
Acting Superintendent
Thornton Fractional High School District 215
