Construction Update:

We're excited to share the latest progress on our auditorium renovation! The old auditorium has been stripped down to its framework in preparation for installing a new floor. Underground facilities have been rerouted to make way for new foundations, set to begin next week. Additionally, we're anticipating the arrival of the masonry sample panel for final approval of exterior color and material schemes. In the meantime, a sanitary pump tank has been installed, ensuring facility use for the D wing until the end of the school year. Thank you for your continued support as we work to create a vibrant and modern space for our community to enjoy.

Accomplishments

Each year, since 2012, Lockheed Martin hosts Code Quest, an annual computer programming competition where teams of two to three high school students work together to solve problems by using Python, JAVA, C# and/or C++ programming to complete the "quest". The problem set consists of 20 to 30 challenging problems created by Lockheed Martin engineers and computer programmers. On Feb 24th, Wilson High School competed in the Lockheed Martin Code Quest Competition at King of Prussia. Wilson Cyber Club had four teams compete at this year's competition with over 1,900 competitors who competed throughout the US. By competing at this year's event, our students qualify to apply for a $10,000 per year/$40,000 scholarship and/or internship with Lockheed Martin. Congratulations, Bulldogs!

Wilson School District has been honored with the Best Communities for Music Education designation from The NAMM Foundation for its outstanding commitment to music education.

To qualify for the Best Communities designation, Wilson answered detailed questions about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program and community music-making programs. Responses were verified by school officials and reviewed by The Music Research Institute at the University of Kansas.

We are so proud of this amazing accomplishment!

Athlete Spotlight

We recently interviewed Christo Hunsicker who is an outstanding baseball player at Wilson High School. He noted that his older brother Tommy has had the most impact on his athletic journey. Sharing a passion for sports and being guided by Tommy's experience has eased Christo's path in high school athletics. In reflecting on his high school sports experience, Christo emphasizes the significance of the relationships he made with coaches and teammates over personal success. He appreciates the bond with teammates during team activities and off the field moments, those memories being the most important of his high school sports career. Christo's interview highlights the importance of mentorship, teamwork, and enjoying his journey in Wilson High School.

Recently, we had the opportunity to interview Wilson softball player, Tatum Werley. When asked about balancing her athletic and academic success, Tatum emphasized the importance of motivation and time management. She stressed the need to prioritize school during school hours and dedicate time after school to improving her skills on the field. Despite struggling with time management in the past, Tatum has honed this skill as a junior, especially during her recruiting season. In terms of support and gratitude, Tatum credits her dad for her love for the game. He has been her mentor since the beginning, teaching her the fundamentals of the game. Looking towards the future, Tatum looks to continue her softball journey at a Division 1 college while pursuing a major in law. Post-college, she wants to return to Wilson High School to contribute as a softball coach.
