Wilson Named A Best Community For Music Education |
We are thrilled that the Wilson School District has been honored with the "Best Communities for Music Education" designation from The NAMM Foundation. Now in its 22nd year, the Best Communities for Music Education designation is awarded to districts that demonstrate outstanding achievement in efforts to provide music access and education to all students.
To qualify for the Best Communities designation, our team answered detailed questions about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program and community music-making programs.
We are so proud of our amazing performing arts educators and our students who, working together, achieved this incredible honor!

The freshmen orientation and transition program is designed to both welcome and support freshmen by assigning them a junior or senior Freshmen Mentor/Link Leader as a mentor during this first year. This Mentor is a responsible older student who was hand selected from a large pool of applicants and has met the qualifications of being a good role model and a positive leader on our campus.
