Edmonson County Highschool’s, ECHS, very own principal, Jonathan Williams, not only performs his job with passion, but with the pride of a wildcat.

Williams came from Sweeden, Kentucky, and went to school with Derrick Stice (Science), Kyle Pierce (JAG), and Leanne Pierce (English). All of which were taught by Anthony Elmore during his 1st year of teaching at ECHS. After high school, Williams went to the University of the Cumberlands and graduated with the Rank 1 teaching status, meaning he holds a master’s and took a variety of graduate courses equal to 30 credit hours.

Today, Williams plays a very important role in our school. As principal, he has many responsibilities and obligations to the school and the students, but he does more than the typical principal. Williams takes it upon himself to ensure the students of ECHS enjoy their time in school. He organizes events, such as Clash of Classes, to promote student participation and give students a chance to create irreplaceable memories. ECHS is fortunate to have a principal like Williams.
