For the past 39 years, Mr. Wilbur Evans has dedicated his time to teaching and guiding his students so that they may be successful beyond the classroom. Mr. Evans has spent the last 19 years here at Midlothian High School, and for the past 23 years he has served as an assistant principal. Before becoming an assistant principal, Mr. Evans taught band and chorus on the middle school and high school levels.  He has taught general music grades K – 12. His smile and bright personality will be greatly missed at Midlo.

Principal Shawn Abel refers to Mr. Evans as “genuine and kind” and calls him the “best whitewater rafting partner ever!” while Associate Principal Elisabeth Baber says he is “one of the kindest, most warmhearted people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing.”

Assistant Principal Mr. Robert Gifford shares, “It has been a pleasure to work with Mr. Evans these past few years.  I value his experience, his smile, and his dedication to guiding students to do the right thing in a sensible manner.  He has dedicated his life to education and making a difference for students and supporting teachers.  I have been privileged to know and work with him.”  Everyone at the Midlo Scoop would like to thank Mr. Evans for his service; he will be greatly missed.
