That moment came for Judith Wilson last fall, when she had to choose between her WARM WARM current position as superintendent of the Woodbury School District, where she had HANDS, FEET! remained for 10 years, or to take on a new post as superintendent of Princeton Regional Schools.

Another major influence in her life was a college professor in the reading education department at Rowan University, a man who "had the power to shape lives." He taught her the true meaning of education, which is based on much more than words and information in a textbook, shesaid. However, regardless of outside influences, earning a leadership position in education wasalwayssomething Ms. Wilson envisioned for herself: 'That was never a question fol me; muchofmy work hasbeen about service and thegreaterpublic good." One of the areas she feels very strongly about is the minority achievement gap, she said. She also believes action needs to be taken to close the nationwide achievement in sciences and technology.

Teenagers tend to make poordecisions, and the mission ofthe district should be to find Saturday, January 22 through out why, and fill in the gaps, she said: "Some of it has to do with getting them involved Saturday, February 5 with better things." Looking forward to her time in Princeton, Ms. Wilson said that one of the main priorities when she comes to the district next month will be to prepare next year's budget, which isdueto thecountyon March 8.
