Hello families of Herrin CUSD #4 schools!
My name is Nathaniel Wilson, and I would like to introduce myself as the new superintendent of Herrin CUSD #4. I have lived in the Herrin School District since 2010 with my wife Mallori (Cravens) Wilson. Mallori is a life-long resident of Herrin, a graduate of Herrin High School, and is now a physical therapist at the Marion VA Medical Center. We have two daughters - Karli and Kaylor. Karli will be in the third grade at Herrin Elementary and Kaylor will be starting kindergarten at North Side Primary Center. Our girls keep us active by participating in the Herrin Junior Ball League, dance, and gymnastics. Additionally, we are active in Union Gospel Mission Church in Herrin. Prior to coming to Herrin, I was the superintendent and principal at DeSoto Grade School for 8 years; principal and athletic director at Vienna Grade School for three years; and was a high school principal, junior high teacher, and basketball and football coach during my nine years as an educator in Missouri.
I am very excited to be part of the Herrin District and to have the opportunity to be more involved in the Herrin community!

It appears that yesterday’s post about the next school year caused some confusion. I hope to clarify what was stated.

Registration for the next school year will be in-person at Herrin High School from August 3-5 for all schools. School will be in session full time 5 days a week. We will be operating on the same hours we had before the pandemic. All students will be expected to be back to in-person learning.

Remote learning will only be an option for students who have been diagnosed with COVID 19, or have been exposed to COVID 19 and have not been vaccinated. Under these two circumstances, the students will learn remotely for 10-14 days, then they will return to school after the quarantine. If a student is exposed to COVID 19, and has been vaccinated, they will not need to quarantine.

Students aged 12 and above have the option to be vaccinated. It is not mandatory to have your child vaccinated. If you want your child age 12 and above to be vaccinated, you can register online at
https://COVID vaccination.dph.Illinois.gov
The vaccinations are being given at the Williamson County Pavilion.

We have just completed a very challenging school year and we are already planning for the 2021/2022 school year. We will be starting school on August 11th. We will be starting school full time five days a week. There will be no remote option next year. The only students who will be learning remotely will be students who have not been vaccinated and have been exposed to COVID 19. I encourage parents to have their children, age 12 and above, vaccinated at their earliest convenience. Bi-county health is providing the vaccine at the Williamson Pavilion.
