Happy 2017: Wilson HS gym almost ready for basketball

The new Wilson High School gym floor is almost ready for its big reveal. The final details and inspections are underway and we expect games to rerun to the home court later this month. Thanks to the Wilson High School ASB for supporting an extra point of Ram pride: an artistic representation of the Tacoma skyline, designed by Tacoma's Hemisphere Design & Marketing.

Note: The Jan. 4 Wilson Rams basketball games against Mt. Tahoma Thunderbirds will be at Foss High School, 2112 S. Tyler St., Tacoma. Thank you to our high school neighbors for accommodating Wilson home games during this transition time!

Phased modernization projects hitting finish lines in 2017

With the new academic wing, weight room and now gym floor checked off the list, the pool is the next on the list to open later this winter. Work continues on the new music building, track and field through spring.
