Bob Williamson’s personal biography:

I was born in Boise, ID and raised for the most part in Twin Falls, ID. I graduated from Kimberly High School and went on to the College of Southern Idaho. I continued my education at the University of Idaho and graduated with a Master’s in Educational Leadership. My first contracted teaching position was in Twin Falls at the Snake River Youth and Detention Center. This was an interesting assignment. I worked primarily with students that had been expelled and were earning their right back into public school; however, I also taught a portion of each day at the juvenile detention center.

My first job in the Nampa School District was as a Youth Companion at Skyview High School. During that same year I was also the Nampa School District’s Night School Administrator. Following that I taught Communication and Reading Strategies at Skyview High School. In 2005, I became a Dean at Skyview High School. That summer I administrated the summer school program at South Middle School. In 2006, I transitioned to the elementary level as the building administrator at Iowa and Owyhee Elementary. This year I am working at Owyhee and Sunny Ridge Elementary as their building administrator.

"A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove . . . . but the world maybe different because I was important in the life of a child."
