Wicomico County Public Schools and the Wicomico County Board of Education extend their condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of former Superintendent of Schools William T. "Bill" Middleton III. Mr. Middleton served the school system for 40 years and continued to serve his community and public education long after his retirement.

Originally hired as a member of the summer paint crew and then as a teacher, Mr. Middleton held a number of positions with the school system, retiring after serving as Superintendent of Schools from 1995 to 2002. He was also a renowned auctioneer, and for many years hosted Travelogue presentations.

We are thankful for the many years he spent with Wicomico County Public Schools, from his time as a student in Pittsville to his years as superintendent.. Learn more about Mr. Middleton: https://www.hollowayfh.com/obituaries/William-T-Bill-Middleton-Iii?obId=45393379

Wicomico County Public Schools successfully applied for a partnership with Soles4Souls through its 4EveryKid campaign. This campaign provides brand-new sneakers to students in need. Wicomico Schools received 250 pairs of sneakers and Bombas socks to distribute to identified students, based on available sizes.

At a distribution event held at East Salisbury Elementary this week for, 54 students from throughout Wicomico Schools received a new pair of sneakers for the school year, with able assistance from the team of Community School Coordinators.

The initial outreach was to families of students identified by pupil personnel workers as a family in transition. If there are still shoes and socks available when these students have been served, Wicomico’s Student & Family Services may provide shoes to other students and scholars who are in need.
