Welcome from Dr. Victoria Pressley, Acting Assistant Superintendent

Dear WSSD Community,

I look forward to the opportunity to support and serve the Wallingford Swarthmore School District as the acting Assistant Superintendent. While my tenure here may be brief as the District seeks a permanent candidate, my primary goal will be to assist in preparing for the 2024-2025 school year.

My commitment to prioritizing students' needs has consistently driven improved academic outcomes for all children. For over three decades, I have been a catalyst for positive change, transforming educational organizations, schools, and communities. I firmly believe that education is the great equalizer and am excited about the opportunity to contribute to the rich tradition of academic excellence, involved parents, and the ongoing success of this school district. I look forward to working together to uphold and enhance these traditions.

My experiences as a principal, principal coach and mentor, assistant superintendent, and Executive Director of Curriculum and Instruction align well with the 5 pathways of the WSSD Strategic Plan. I am confident that my background and skills support the District’s vision and goals. I am eager to bring my knowledge and dedication into the buildings as we prepare for the upcoming school year.

I am enthusiastic about contributing to the continued growth and success of the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District.

Warmly,

Dr. Victoria Pressley
