A message from Mr. Wigle:
I would like to take this opportunity to recognize Tai Ward and Deborah Williamson for their dedicated service to the Fairfield Community School District Board of Directors.
Tai is a diehard Trojan. He loves the people of this community and has spent countless hours serving the staff and students of our district. When I came in as a new superintendent, Tai was our board president, and he was incredible to work with—steady, thoughtful, and deeply committed to doing what is best for Fairfield. Throughout his time on the board, Tai helped navigate many challenging situations, always keeping students at the center of every decision and working to create better opportunities for our kids. Thank you, Tai!
Deborah has a heart bigger than anyone I have ever worked with and finds countless ways to give back to Fairfield. Her desire to make a lasting and meaningful impact on our schools will not be forgotten. Deborah, thank you for your time, your heart, and your unwavering dedication to the Fairfield Schools. It has truly been a privilege to serve alongside you.
On behalf of our entire district, we are grateful for the leadership, compassion, and commitment both Tai and Deborah have given to Fairfield. Their service leaves a lasting legacy for our students, staff, and community.
