High School Math Students Show Their Skills In
National Competition
|
|
On a cold and blustery FLEX day morning in early February, 17 Wilson High School students chose to wake up early and take a math test before school. Some took the AMC10, and some took the AMC12 -- both 25-question, 75-minute, multiple choice examinations in high school mathematics designed to promote the development and enhancement of problem-solving skills. The exams require that students apply a varied knowledge of mathematical concepts to successfully answer questions.
Please help us to congratulate the participants of this national competition, as well as, the students who placed first, second, and third at Wilson High School.
AMC10
First at Wilson: Angela Rapp
Second at Wilson: Jack Peacock
Third at Wilson: Jason Kaufmann
AMC12

Celebrating Our Wilson School District Social Workers! |
|
The National Association of Social Workers is helping celebrate this year’s Social Work Month in March with the theme “Social Workers are Essential” to highlight the invaluable contributions social workers make in our society, especially as this nation addresses the Coronavirus pandemic.
As practitioners, social workers are trained to help people address personal and systemic barriers to optimal living. They are employed to effect positive change with individuals, families, groups, and entire communities.
You will find social workers throughout our society -- including here, within the Wilson School District – protecting children from abuse and neglect, providing mental health and substance use disorder treatment, helping students and families connect with vital community services, and providing direct counseling and support in times of crisis.
Please join us in recognizing and celebrating the important work that our social workers do for our students and families every day!
