REMINDER! Community Survey Deadline 5/1/22 |

Last week, we announced some changes in the leadership of the Wilson School District. The School Board accepted the resignation of Superintendent Dr. Richard Faidley at their meeting Tuesday evening. Dr. Faidley has accepted a position as the new Superintendent of the Williston Basin School District #7 in Williston, North Dakota. Dr. Chris Trickett was named the Interim Superintendent, effective immediately, and will assume all responsibilities of the Superintendent of Schools.
Dr. Trickett joined the Wilson School District in 2003 as an educator and has served the District in numerous leadership roles throughout his tenure. Most recently, he served as the Assistant Superintendent for Secondary Education. Dr. Trickett resides in the Wilson School District with his wife and three children.
With Dr. Faidley’s resignation, the Board of Directors will be working with the Berks County Intermediate Unit (BCIU) to facilitate the Superintendent search for the District.
For your reference, below is the tentative timeline for initial search components:
- Position Posting: Wednesday, April 20, 2022 – Sunday, May 1, 2022
- Community Survey: Wednesday, April 20, 2022 – Sunday, May 1, 2022
We encourage all stakeholders to participate in the online Community Survey. We are soliciting input regarding what qualities you would like to see in the next Superintendent. You can find a link to the survey here .

Scholarships Available for Seniors |
|
Deadlines are approaching for the scholarships facilitated through the Wilson Education Foundation. If you are a graduating senior or know one, don't miss out on these opportunities!
Aedan’s Hero Scholarship
This scholarship is being offered in memory of Aedan Kelley, a student at Cornwall Terrace whom we lost in May of 2015. Aedan would have been a senior this year in Wilson School District. Aedan had dreams of making the world a better place; he was there for his fellow student, be it by helping carry books, giving his own money towards charity, or even just some words of encouragement. He was selfless to a fault and saw the good in everyone. In today’s day and age, being selfless and seeing the good in everyone are characteristics that more of us should exhibit. Our ideal candidate for this scholarship would match that criteria.
Our criteria to be eligible for consideration:
1) Applicant must be a former Cornwall Terrace Elementary student
2) Applicant to provide an essay on what being selfless and seeing the good in everyone means to them
3) Applicant to tell us about their goals with college—where do they hope to go and what do they hope to major in
4) Be honest, be yourself.
General (RET) US Army Fred & Denise Franks Scholarship for Public Service
The General (Ret) US Army Fred & Denise Franks Scholarship for Public Service will be granted to a member of the senior class, who demonstrates intention to pursue a future in Public Service.

Future Business Leaders of America Advance to Nationals |
|
Wilson High School’s Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) club has had great success this year. Twenty members competed in competitive events at the regional level. Fifteen advanced to the state level.
The Pennsylvania FBLA State Leadership Conference was held at the Hershey Lodge, over the dates April 11-13. This conference consisted of the top student business leaders in the entire state.
The competition at this level was intense, yet four Wilson High School students triumphed. Freshman Sindura Sridhar placed 9th in her event of Introduction to Public Speaking. Senior Anisha Aggarwal placed 4th in her event of Data Analysis. Junior Amish Jindal placed 2nd in his event of Entrepreneurship. And finally, senior Darsh Wagh placed 1st in his event of Computer Applications. These events feature a variety of objective tests, projects and case studies. Specifically, these students prepared extra hard to earn the distinction they have achieved.
Due to their placement at the state level, Anisha Aggarwal, Amish Jindal and Darsh Wagh have advanced to the national FBLA competition in Chicago. This competition will be held from June 29 to July 2. Last year Amish Jindal had great success at the national level, when he placed 5th in his event of International Business. Amish Jindal is excited to have another shot at success at the national competition this year.
In addition, Darsh Wagh and Anisha Aggarwal are thrilled for this opportunity that has been presented to them. They both also look to win big in Chicago.
