About The Teacher

Mr.Williamson graduated from Vance Senior High School in 1987 before earning 
his B.A. in English and Radio-Television-Motion Pictures at UNC-Chapel Hill 
in 1991. While taking graduate courses at East Carolina University, he fell 
in love and eventually married the woman of his dreams (Susan). After TEN 
years of marriage, Mr. Williamson and his wife are the proud parents of two 
wonderful girls, Natalie (8) and Molly (6).

After working various jobs, Mr. Williamson finally chose teaching as his 
profession because he believes it is a job that matters and impacts the lives 
of others. He spent the first seven years of his teaching career at his old 
high school (now called Northern Vance High School)in Henderson, 
N.C. The decision to relocate to Wilmington was prompted by his youngest 
daughter Molly's diagnosis of autism. Susan researched for months in an 
effort to determine where Molly could receive the best help, and the New 
Hanover County school system was at the top of the list. So, with 
determination and luck, Mr Williamson found a teaching position with Laney 
High in Wilmington, N.C., and moved the entire family to their new coastal 
home.

Currently, Mr. Williamson teaches English I at Laney High and lives in 
Historic Downtown Wilmington with his family.

Mission For The Class

Team Name: THE EXPLORERS


Our class mission is simple: to strive for excellence despite the obstacles. 
We will dare to believe in ourselves and our abilities. We will put forth our 
best efforts in all that we do. Failure is not an option. Laziness, 
ignorance, disrespect, and dishonesty are not welcome in our classroom. We 
will work together as a team, and we will grow as a team. In the end, we will 
leave the classroom confident that we grew as individuals and as a team.
