It is with great sadness that Cass High School announces the passing of our Associate Principal, Mr. Bill Johnson.
For the past ten years, Mr. Johnson faithfully served Cass High School, including the last five years as Associate Principal, dedicating his heart to our students, staff, and community. His leadership was marked by integrity, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to helping every student succeed. Whether he was encouraging a student, supporting a teacher, or celebrating the accomplishments of others, he always led with kindness and humility.
A proud United States Marine Corps veteran and lifelong educator, Mr. Johnson believed in the power of education to change lives. His influence extended far beyond the classroom and the office, leaving a lasting impact on generations of students and colleagues.
Above all, Mr. Johnson was devoted to his family. He often spoke with great pride about his wife, Philena, and his daughters, Ashton, Sheridan, and Caitlin. His love for them was evident in everything he did.
The halls of Cass High School will not be the same without his steady presence, warm smile, and genuine care for others. His legacy of service, leadership, and compassion will continue to inspire us for years to come.
A memorial service will be held on Monday, June 22, 2026, at 2:00pm in the Chapel of Owen Funeral Home. The Johnson family will receive friends at Owen Funeral Home from 12:00 p.m. until the service hour on June 22, 2026.
Please join the Cass High School family in keeping the Johnson family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.Once a Colonel, Always a Colonel
