Message from the Principal

Welcome! I am Kristin Ruhsam and it is with great pride that I join the Wilson Middle School family as your new Principal. Wilson Middle School has a rich history and I am proud to return to serve the Appleton community that I call home. As a staff, we look forward to partnering with you to ensure that all students are supported, celebrated, and held to high expectations. We are excited to begin the 2021-2022 school year as we continue to aim to provide a safe and inclusive learning environment through our commitment to Equity, Respect, Creativity, Leadership, and Collaboration.
 
As Wilson’s principal, I firmly believe that every student has the capacity to achieve at a high level but understand that each student’s path is very different. It is important to me that every student who walks through our doors is excited to be here and feels like a welcomed part of our learning community. Here at Wilson Middle School, we will work hard to increase student achievement through high-quality and equity-based education, which includes building strong relationships with families, students, staff, and community partners. We also commit to holding students to high expectations, inspiring students to be independent problem-solvers, and motivating students to be active participants in their education. 
 
To better serve the students and families of our Wilson Middle School community we are always seeking ways to improve. Feel free to call, email, or schedule a time to meet as I look forward to walking with you on this journey. 

Sincerely, 

Kristin Ruhsam
