From Quince Orchard High School:

Dear Quince Orchard Students, Staff, and Families,

I am writing to inform you of the arrest of Dake Williams, a former Quince Orchard High School volunteer wrestling coach. Mr. Williams is charged with multiple counts of possession of child pornography. These charges, which stem from a 2017 incident, appear to be unrelated to his role as a volunteer coach. Mr. Williams served as a volunteer wrestling coach at Quince Orchard from 2015–2018.

MCPS was just made aware of Mr. Williams’ arrest. His alleged behavior is extremely concerning and these charges represent a violation of our school’s core values and the values of our Montgomery County community.

We are committed to the well-being of all of our students. A support team of school psychologists, counselor and pupil personnel workers from MCPS will join with our staff this week to provide counseling and support to students upon request.

Ensuring a safe learning environment for our students is our top priority. If you or your child have any information that may be helpful to the investigation, I ask that you call the Montgomery County Child Exploitation Unit at 240-773-5400.

Please do not hesitate to contact me at 240-740-3600 if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth L. Thomas

Principal
