Share Your Thoughts With Us!
The Wilson School District is developing a "Profile of a Wilson Graduate." Understanding the needs of our workforce and society are changing, we are prioritizing life, career and college readiness for our students. This profile will help us establish district priorities in each of these areas.
As we develop this profile, we want to hear thoughts from our community about the question “What do students need to know (knowledge) and be able to do (skills) when they leave the Wilson School District?” We will be running a ThoughtExchange to gather your input and will use those results to guide our work. You can access the Exchange here. Thank you for your input!

Donations Needed for Humanitarian Efforts in Jamaica |
|
This year, Wilson High School students are continuing the 25+ year tradition of traveling to Jamaica with Doug Dahms for a trip filled with both incredible educational opportunities, as well as much needed humanitarian efforts.
The humanitarian portion of this experience is an incredible opportunity for our students and community to provide much-needed supplies to the people of Jamaica. This year, the team is seeking monetary donations (payable to Wilson School District with “Jamaica” in the memo line), as well as, donations of toiletries (see photo for examples of what is needed). In addition, we are in need of unlocked cell phones, laptops, small CD radios, batteries (AA, AAA, C and D).
Donated items should be labeled "Jamaica" and can be dropped off at the Wilson High School Lower House Office. All donations are due by December 18. As always, your support is greatly appreciated!

Wilson Theater Company Presents "James and the Giant Peach" |
|
Join our Wilson Theater Company for their second main stage production this year!
Remaining performances of “James and the Giant Peach” will be held on Friday, November 19 at 7 pm and Saturday, November 20 at 1 pm in the Wilson High School Auditorium.
Here’s a quick synopsis of this fun musical production: After his parents are killed by a stampeding rhino, James Trotter spends time in an orphanage before being sent to the only family he has left, his aunts Spiker and Sponge. But his aunts are cruel and torment poor James mercilessly. Urged by a mysterious man called Ladahlord, James creates a magical potion in an effort to change his situation. But the magic gets away from him, and instead he creates a giant peach and human-sized insects. The aunts see a way to make money from this impressive fruit. However, the insects decide they have to escape, and with James, they cut the peach from the tree-- and their adventure begins!
