Honoring Our School Counselors! |
It’s National School Counseling Week 2021! This week is set aside to highlight the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career.
At Wilson, our school counselors are actively engaged in helping students examine their abilities, strengths, interests, and talents; work in partnership with parents as they encounter the challenges of raising children in today’s world; focusing on positive ways to enhance students’ academic, postsecondary and social/emotional development; and work with teachers and other educators to provide an educational system where students can realize their potential and set healthy, realistic, and optimistic aspirations for themselves.
For all of their contributions to the lives of our students, we’d like to honor and acknowledge our fantastic team of school counselors!

Wilson School District Receives First Delivery
of New Propane Buses
|
|
In October, 2020, the Wilson School District Board of Directors approved a plan to begin the conversion of the District’s bus fleet to propane vehicles. The plan not only provides cost savings for the District, but also provides children and our communities with significantly cleaner air to breathe.
From a cost-saving perspective, moving to propane allows the Wilson School District to realize a savings of $.13/mile per year. That cost reduction equates to approximately $14,000 of savings in the first year alone.
We were excited to receive seven new propane buses this week, which will begin to pick up our students on Monday. These buses replace ones that are scheduled for retirement from the fleet. Keep your eyes open for these new buses on the road by looking for the green bird, prominently displayed on the front of the bus. The long-term plan for the District’s bus fleet involves a phased-in approach with the purchase of additional propane vehicles over the next 8 to 10 years.
According to Dr. Richard H. Faidley, Superintendent, the move to propane buses really is about the District’s commitment to green initiatives that benefit the community. “Converting our District’s bus fleet to propane is not only what is best for our kids, but what is best for the greater community. Cleaner air to breathe benefits everyone,” stated Faidley.

High School AP Research Study Request |
|
Each year, high school students conduct surveys as part of their AP Research Class at Wilson High School. For one of our students, they are investigating the leaching of fertilizers from grass lawns and would like to gather information from homeowners with regards to fertilizer usage. This survey is completely voluntary and anonymous, so there will be no follow up regarding your responses. Thank you for considering and helping a student complete their research! Here is the survey link. |
