Wicomico County Public Schools and the Wicomico County Board of Education extend their condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of former Superintendent of Schools William T. "Bill" Middleton III. Mr. Middleton served the school system for 40 years and continued to serve his community and public education long after his retirement.

Originally hired as a member of the summer paint crew and then as a teacher, Mr. Middleton held a number of positions with the school system, retiring after serving as Superintendent of Schools from 1995 to 2002. He was also a renowned auctioneer, and for many years hosted Travelogue presentations.

We are thankful for the many years he spent with Wicomico County Public Schools, from his time as a student in Pittsville to his years as superintendent.. Learn more about Mr. Middleton: https://www.hollowayfh.com/obituaries/William-T-Bill-Middleton-Iii?obId=45393379
