==Education== {{unreferenced section|date=August 2024}} The first school in Williamsburg was founded and taught by Jacob Ake, the borough's founder. Williamsburg Community School District is one of Pennsylvania's smallest. The superintendent is Lisa Murgas, and the school board is headed by Dr. Barry England. The current principal of the high school is Mike Jones. There are two buildings in use in the district: one for grades K-6, and one for grades 7-12. The high school mascot is the Blue Pirate. Sports offered at the high school include cross country, track and field, football, baseball, basketball for both sexes, and volleyball and softball for girls. Both the boys and girls basketball teams have won state championships. The Williamsburg Public Library opened on January 28, 1950. The library was located in a back room of the Williamsburg Borough Building and was open on Tuesdays and Saturday evenings from 7 to 9. Members of the Women's Civic Club served as volunteer librarians. The Head Librarian is Lugene Shelly. In 1968 the library moved to the former Patterson home on West Second Street, and in December 2001 it moved again to the former Presbyterian Church building. In 1966 the library became a member of the Blair County Library System. It currently serves the residents of Williamsburg, Catharine and Woodbury townships, and parts of Huston and Frankstown townships. The library provides a variety of programs, including story hours, book discussions, and poetry readings and is open five days a week. The library has a twelve-station computer lab with high-speed Internet and a community meeting room. The library's collection has thousands of books covering a wide variety of topics. Williamsburg is served by Fire Station 90, located adjacent to the borough hall. It is a full-service volunteer outfit; by 2020, the local ambulance services had been discontinued - instead, being provided Emergency Medical Services from the nearby town of Hollidaysburg. Hazardous material response is provided by Altoona.
