MNPS Black Excellence: Dr. Stephen Williams

Dr. Stephen Williams is a 2001 graduate of McGavock High School who now serves as an assistant principal at W.A. Bass Learning Center and is in his 15th year with the district. He credits the many excellent educators he came to know at Napier Elementary, Margaret Allen and Two Rivers middle schools, and then McGavock with helping shape him into the leader he is today.

His grandmother played a big role, too.

“Once you get to one level of excellence, you have to start aiming at a higher level to keep striving toward excellence,” says Williams, an Austin Peay State University graduate. “That’s what my granny was meaning when she told me that you’re never going to arrive. She was pushing excellence on me.”
