The teaching staff at the high school is rather extraordinary. One teacher for example, Mrs. Rushing, has won several awards for Teacher of the Millennium and also for Best English Teacher in the State of Illinois. Williamsfield is also home to the annual grilling event where students grill out at the high school the morning before the first day of each school year.
