Williams was the secretary of the Glenmore School District No. 14 for 30 years, and served as councillor and returning officer for Local Improvement District 221 in the Glenmore area for many years. Milton Williams School in Calgary was named in his honour in 1952 as a result of his contribution to schools and education in the city. The one-room school opened in January 1945, and was soon enlarged with three additional rooms and eventually a newer brick structure. The schools were demolished in 2005 to accommodate the widening of Glenmore Trail and a monument was erected on the site.
