After more than thirty years at Wagener Salley High School, Mr. Allen Williams has retired.  An honorary luncheon was served Sunday as hundreds came to wish him well, thank him for his work and tell stories of how he influenced lives.  Visit the Aiken Standard for the full story.  

Williams is a living example of his personal FFA motto:  Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve.  Williams is one of many in a long line of men of character and integrity who have permanently influenced many lives through both the FFA and the vocational agriculture departments at WSHS.  Roy Warner preceded Spencer Smith as the WSHS vocational ag teacher and was a mentor to Smith.  "The agriculture program is a means of teaching rural leadership," claims Smith, to create good rural and state leaders alike.  As Smith credits Warner, Williams credits Smith, claiming that his success is due to Smith's strong foundation.
