Wilson School District Creates Equity Council
Recently our board approved the Wilson School District Equity Policy. The policy indicates that we will be creating an Equity Council with the goal of implementing an equity audit and creating equity goals and identifying metrics to report on goal progress. The Equity Council is a work group that will consist of parents, students, staff and community members and is open to any interested members of the Wilson School District Community. 

If you are interested in being part of this Council, we will be holding an introductory meeting on Monday, January 31st at 6 pm in the Board Room at the District Administration Building. At this meeting, we’ll discuss the Council logistics, answer questions about the process and ask for a commitment to participating in the work group for the remainder of the school year. 

Please complete this brief survey by Friday, January 21, 2022 indicating your interest and dates/times that would best work for you for future recurring monthly meetings.

We are looking forward to working together to continue this important conversation.

POSTPONED: Wilson Theater Company Presents: Pride and Prejudice
This isn’t your grandmother’s Austen! Bold, surprising, boisterous, and timely, this Pride & Prejudice for a new era explores the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect (or imperfect) match in life.

The outspoken Lizzy Bennet is determined to never marry, despite mounting pressure from society. But can she resist love, especially when that vaguely handsome, mildly amusing, and impossibly aggravating Mr. Darcy keeps popping up at every turn?!

Watch for new dates to be announced soon!
It's a Red Out! Order Your Shirts NOW!
