Illing & District Teacher of the Year

Jessica Williams - Jessica has a way of seeing the best in everyone and she is a people person. She loves teaching others, but also learning from others (adults and students alike). Jess promotes equity by doing what is right for people. Her technology knowledge and work that she does as our technology integrator and department leader has promoted equity in our school community. Jessica's knowledge, creativity, and hard work have been a necessity during our time away from school and learning from home. Jessica developed the lessons for students at the beginning of the pandemic so that all students would participate in the same lesson and get used to using Google Classroom in a fun and engaging way. Her expertise and willingness to provide assistance to all during this time has not gone unnoticed. Jessica puts her all into everything she does and it shows. She is motivated to do her best and she pushes those around her to do their best. She is organized, loving, and creative. These qualities make Jess fun to be around and a wonderful colleague to work with. Jessica strives for excellence in all that she does. She is an inspiration to many.
