Williston Central School’s administrative team will welcome a new face for the 2026-27 school year. Ayrin Thibault joins the administration as assistant principal beginning in July, following Jackie Parks’s retirement at the end of this school year.
“Ayrin’s values, passions, and leadership habits are in close harmony with Williston’s guiding principles and culture, and we’re very excited to welcome her to WCS’s leadership team,” says Greg Marino, who will transition from Williston Lead Principal to WCS Building Principal beginning in July. “The search team was impressed by Ayrin’s diverse palette of instructional and leadership experiences, her calm and reflective approach, and her passion for improving instruction and systems for the benefit of students and learning.”
Ayrin comes to Williston Central School from Bristol, Vermont’s Mount Abraham Union Middle/High School, where she will round out the current year as Assistant Principal, playing a collaborative role in supporting faculty, staff, students, and caregivers. She holds licenses in School Building Administration (Principal), K-12 ML/ESL, grades 6-9 Science, and grades 6-9 Mathematics, and has worked as an educator for more than two decades in a wide range of locations—from Chittenden County to Myanmar, where she taught eighth grade science for two years.
“I am elated to join WCS,” Ayrin says. “I look forward to the opportunity to learn and grow as a community of life-long learners.”
When she is not working in schools, Ayrin enjoys all aspects of nature and outdoor activities, as well as spending time with family and friends. She recently earned her certification to teach adaptive horseback riding, allowing her to share her love of horses with others.
