Superintendent Continues First Day of School Tradition
Dr. Richard Faidley, Superintendent of Schools, once again kicked off the new school year by riding a bus with students on their first day. This year, Dr. Faidley rode a bus to Shiloh Hills, stopping to greet parents and students at each stop. The students were excited to share details about their summer vacations and what they were looking forward to in the new school year. After the bus ride, the Wilson School District Leadership Team traveled to all the school buildings to wish the staff and students the best for the new school year!

Welcome to our Newest Teachers!
We welcomed 35 new teachers to our district this year. Congratulations to each of our newest staff members.

We wish you the best for the 2019-2020 school year!
High School Teacher Spends 19 Days at Sea!
Wilson High School Reading Strategies teacher, Allison Irwin, was selected to participate in the NOAA Teacher at Sea program. Out of over 300 applicants, Allison was one of only 19 chosen to participate in these summer research cruises. Allison set sail on July 7 from Newport, Oregon where she spent 19 days at sea aboard the NOAA Ship Reuben Lasker. She assisted scientists with coastal pelagic species research. What an incredible opportunity for Allison to use her experiences to enhance her classroom teaching this year. We are proud of you Allison!
