Principal’s Message

Dear Wildcat Family,

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year at Dr. Henry W. Mack/West Little River K-8 Center. 

It is my honor and privilege to serve as the principal of this vibrant and welcoming school community where we are committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and challenging learning environment for all students. At The Mack, our mission is to provide every student with a solid foundation for success, fostering not only academic excellence but also emotional, social, and physical growth. We take great pride in offering a well-rounded educational experience that includes a variety of extracurricular activities, including art, music, sports, and leadership opportunities. Our goal is to help every child grow into a confident, responsible, and compassionate individual ready to succeed at every grade level, including high school and beyond.

At The Mack, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing environment where all students feel valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential. Our dedicated team of teachers and staff work together to cultivate curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning that will last a lifetime. We focus on building strong relationships, encouraging critical thinking, and promoting positive character development. We also encourage our students to be kind, respectful, and responsible, as we believe that good character is just as important as academic achievement.

As we embark on another exciting school year, I invite you to partner with us in supporting your child’s educational journey. Together, we can ensure that each student is challenged, celebrated, and empowered to succeed.

Thank you being a part of the Wildcat family and entrusting us with your child’s education. I look forward to all that we will accomplish together this year!

Sincerely,
Dr. April Thompson-Williams
Principal
Dr. Henry W. Mack/West Little River K-8 Center
