Dr. Eric Wilken joined the Willard Family in 2021.
I am honored and humbled to have the opportunity to serve the Willard School District and the community. I am excited to work alongside this amazing team to help grow student leaders and life-ready graduates. I grew up in Aurora, Missouri and moved to Skyline School District my senior year, where I graduated. My wife Julie and I have three children. Cooper is a senior, Callie 7th grade, and Camden 4th grade. Julie is a RN and teaches in the nursing program at Southwest Baptist University on the Bolivar campus. Prior to Willard, I spent 5 years teaching middle school math at School of the Osage, four years as elementary principal/athletic director at Weaubleau, and 11 years as superintendent at Weaubleau School District. I hold a doctorate degree from Lindenwood University, received a masters' from William Woods University, and a specialist degree from Missouri State University. In my free time, I enjoy attending church, watching my kids participate in athletics, deer hunting, fishing, cruising the lake, attending sporting events, and spending time with our family.

It is an honor to be a part of the Willard family! As an educator, my passion is to support and serve students with excellence and high expectations to make a difference every day. In the Willard strategic plan, the shared vision is to grow student leaders to become life-ready graduates and I am thankful that my family has the privilege of helping this dream come to fruition. My wife, Jacki, is an educator in Ozark. We have 3 children; Kathryn, Jaxon, and Kamryn. Prior to Willard, I spent 4 years in the Springfield School District as Executive Director of Secondary Learning. I also spent 15 years at Bolivar Middle School; 5 years as a 6th grade teacher and 10 years as the building principal. In addition, I had experience at Halfway Schools as the 7-12 building principal. I hold a doctorate degree from Southwest Baptist University and received master’s and specialist degrees also from Southwest Baptist University. In addition, I have taught master’s level graduate courses for Southwest Baptist University since 2008. In my free time, I spend time with family, take walks with my wife, read fiction books, attend church, go to kids’ sporting events, and spend time with friends.

Cathy Shoup joined the Willard Family in 2017.
I grew up in Carthage, Illinois, where I graduated from Hancock Central High School. I hold a Specialist Degree in Education Administration, a Master's Degree in Athletic Administration, as well as a Master's Degree in Physical Education. Prior to coming to Willard five years ago, I was the Activities Director for Rolla Public Schools for nine years. Prior to that, I was a coach of multiple sports and physical education teacher at Buffalo High School for nine years. I am fortunate to have six nieces and nephews ranging from the ages of 18 months to 16 years old, which are the centerpieces of my life. In my free time I enjoy anything outdoors, spending time at the lake, and spending time with family and friends. I’m excited to continue to impact our Willard students alongside a dedicated staff. Every member of our Willard team plays a crucial role in supporting students in their educational success. I’m proud to lead an operations team that ensures the safety, well-being, and opportunity for students to learn each day.
