Ms. Young teaches high school English. She was inspired to become an educator by a teacher who made a great impact on her life. She decided she wanted to share her joy of literature with others. Her favorite thing about teaching at Williams Academy is the staff because they want what’s best for the students. Her dream vacation would be to go to Isla Mujeres, Mexico. Congratulations to Ms. Young on her recent engagement.

The mission of Williams Academy is to offer a stable, emotionally supportive, educational environment for children with a goal of empowering each child to achieve his or her real academic and social potential.
