About Us

C.E. Williams Middle School, located in Charleston, South Carolina, was established in 1968 and named after Chalmers Elliott Williams, a dedicated local school superintendent. Originally focused on creative and scientific arts, the school became part of the Charleston County School District (CCSD) and has remained committed to innovative, student-centered learning ever since.
Today, C.E. Williams operates on two campuses —
North Campus: serving 6th-grade students
South Campus: serving 7th–8th grade students
In 2020, C.E. Williams merged with West Ashley Middle School, the same year a new, state-of-the-art facility opened near West Ashley High School. The school continues to honor its legacy of academic excellence, creativity, and community, preparing Charleston’s middle schoolers to learn, lead, and thrive.
