Each month, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors recognizes an outstanding school, student, staff member, parent, or community member for a display of excellence, achievement, and innovation that may serve as an example to our school district and the entire Milwaukee community.
This month, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors is pleased to present the “Excellence in Education Award” to:
Scott Campbell
Julie Wilson
Milwaukee Public Schools recognizes Mr. Scott Campbell and Ms. Julie Wilson for their dedication to providing Milwaukee’s youth with exceptional learning experiences through the development and implementation of the Mock Trial Program.
Scott Campbell is an Assistant U.S. Attorney with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. Since joining the U.S. Attorney’s Office’s Criminal Division in 1999 as a federal prosecutor, Scott has focused on taking the profits out of crime and to get criminal proceeds back to victims of crimes.
Julie P. Wilson recently joined the City of Milwaukee as an Assistant City Attorney. In that role, she serves as general counsel for the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee, representing the Authority in a wide-range of regulatory, corporate, and litigation matters. She also represents the Board of Zoning Appeals.
Prior to joining the City Attorney’s Office, Julie worked as a civil rights litigator and the public records open and meetings expert for Milwaukee County. She was previously a partner in a litigation firm and started her legal career as a law clerk in the Milwaukee County Circuit Court. Julie is a graduate of Rufus King High School, Indiana University, and the Indiana University Maurer School of Law.
Over the course of the past two years, Scott and Julie have graciously given their time and knowledge to assist MPS with implementing Mock Trial Programs. They have provided numerous trainings for MPS afterschool staff and partners. They have coordinated multiple student Mock Trial demonstrations for high school students interested in participating in the program. Scott and Julie have leveraged their relationships with attorneys throughout the city of Milwaukee to link schools with attorney coaches. Most importantly, they have imparted their institutional knowledge from years of Mock Trial participation at various levels on to Milwaukee Public Schools.
The MPS Mock Trial Program has continued to grow, because of their passion and generosity. In 2017, Bradley Tech High School’s Mock Trial team participated in the Regional Mock Trial Competition, serving as the first Milwaukee Public School to participate in this competition in many years. In February 2018, Bradley Tech, North Division, and Audubon high schools participated in the regional competition. In March 2018, Bradley Tech received the Spirit of Mock Trial Award from the State Bar of Wisconsin.
Because of Scott Campbell and Julie Wilson, students are being positively affected and exposed to life-altering experiences through the Mock Trial Program. They continue to serve as a mock trial coaches because they believe that they can make a difference in students’ lives.
The Milwaukee Board of School Directors recognize and honor Scott Campbell and Julie Wilson, for their dedication, outstanding leadership, and commitment to excellence on behalf of the students of the Milwaukee Public Schools.
