Thank you SO MUCH to all of you who made it out to the blood drive! We had a great turnout! However, to gift our district the $250 grant, we still need approximately 7 more donors. Donations can still be accepted at the ImpactLife facility located at : Midway Plaza, 10900B Lincoln Trail, Fairview Heights, IL 62208. If you could possibly squeeze some time in next week to donate at the facility and give code 10774A, we will still receive credit for your donation. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. This is a very important service project for our organization and for our community. We would really appreciate your help. Remember, one pint of blood can save THREE lives. Thanks, Dawn Poe & PJH NJHS

Thank you BASIC (a student organization that brings together student leaders from Belleville East, Belleville West, and Althoff) for visiting Pontiac and talking to our 8th grade students! This group knows what it feels like having a mix of excitement and nerves about transitioning to high school. To help ease this transition, the BASIC students come and visit with 8th grade.

Their goal is to provide a relatable, peer-to-peer environment where 8th graders can ask the "real" questions they might not feel comfortable asking teachers or administrators in a large assembly. Each visiting group includes students from all three local high schools to provide a well-rounded view of the high school experience.

THANK YOU!

Hello Pontiac-William Holliday School Community,

I am Kimberly Wilson and it is an honor to introduce myself as the new assistant principal.  I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve this district and to join such an extraordinary community of educators, students, and families.

I come to you with varied experiences as I have served as an elementary teacher, middle school teacher, assistant principal, and principal.  I received my BA from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville and a MA from Greenville University.  The 2026-2027 school year will mark my 15th year in education.  I love working in the school setting and although I have always felt at home in the classroom, as an administrator I have been most fulfilled in my life’s work.  The administrative role provides me the opportunity to work closely with teachers, while also remaining connected to our students as we watch them learn and grow.

I believe that every student deserves a chance to achieve greatness through a safe and inclusive learning environment and through a culture where students, teachers, and parents can collaborate to cultivate a stimulating environment that prepares students to become lifelong learners.  I believe this can be achieved through professional learning communities, parent-teacher groups, and student organizations where all parties understand the full potential of all students.

I am excited to embark on this educational journey with the Pontiac-William Holliday School Community, and I am confident that together, we will create an inspiring and enriching environment for our students to flourish.

I look forward to meeting you all soon!

Warmly,

Kimberly Wilson  

Assistant Principal
