WBSD 7 has vision to foster student growth and build trusting partnerships between students, staff, family, and community. A Williston Basin education will support our student's intellectual, social, and emotional growth. We will provide students with an innovative curriculum supported by various co-curricular activities. The outcome of our efforts will empower students to make a difference in their community and world.
As we move forward with the Williston Middle School Central Campus, we would like to keep communication and progress open with all stakeholders. Mr. Heath Glenn is the WMSCC lead administrator. As progression continues, it is essential to WBSD7 leadership that stakeholders continue to have input. Mr. Glenn has been on the WMS campus each day, working with teachers and principals. Mr. Glenn has also visited with Missouri Ridge teachers and their future principal, Dina Norby. There has been a focus on collaboration across all schools as we work toward the same goal. We are excited to begin this journey with our new team and are thankful for the community support. Below is the timeline and progression of WMSCC.
