Tashe Williams

Tashe Williams is the Next Generation Scholars program coordinator for Wicomico Middle and High Schools.

Williams earned his BS in Psychology from the University of Northern Colorado. After leaving the National Football League (NFL) in 2000, Williams served as a private probation officer in Littleton, Colorado. Since returning to his hometown of Salisbury, Maryland, Williams has held various positions at local schools. He was a substitute teacher and also served as a substitute and long-term intensive studies supervisor at Westside Intermediate School, providing one-on-one behavioral intervention. Most recently, Williams was an intensive studies instructor and assistant football coach at Parkside High School.

Though furthering education was not discussed in Williams’ childhood home, he made it a priority for his daughter who is currently pursuing her law degree. He believes it’s important to change the narrative for youth, especially for Next Generation Scholars who may be the first member of their family to attend college.
