William M. Reeves, Jr.

The Dorchester District Two family is deeply saddened by the death of William M. Reeves, Jr. His life of service to this school district is an outstanding testimony to his dedication and commitment to the community that meant so much to him. As a long time member of the District Two family, Mr. Reeves served as a school and district administrator, as Superintendent, and, most recently, as an elected member of the Board of Trustees. In 2007, members of the Board of Trustees honored Bill Reeves and his extraordinary contributions to this school system by naming a new elementary school William M. Reeves, Jr. Elementary School. The school opened its doors in August 2007 and was dedicated in his honor in October 2007.

Superintendent Joe Pye expressed his thoughts on the passing of Mr. Reeves in the following words, "The death of Bill Reeves is a tremendous loss for our school system and the entire community. I valued Bill's wise and common sense approach to issues. All of us will miss his marvelous sense of humor. His love of this school district will be unmatched and his contributions never forgotten. We offer our profound sympathies to his family at this very difficult time."
