In this Staff Spotlight, I sit down with Lintott Elementary Principal Merisa Wilson to learn more about the heart behind her leadership and her long-standing career with the Chehalis School District.

Merisa shares what first inspired her to pursue a career in education and what has kept her rooted in Chehalis throughout the years. From her early days at Cascade Elementary to leading Lintott Elementary, her passion for students, staff, and community shines through.

I also uncover a fun piece of her story — her brief childhood stint as a baton twirler — and how those early experiences helped shape the confidence and determination she carries into her work today.

Most importantly, Merisa reflects on the legacy she hopes to leave: a culture of encouragement, opportunity, and lasting impact for every student who walks through Lintott’s doors.
