The Wilson School District values the thoughts and ideas of our community. One of the strategic ways that we are able to determine what out key stakeholders are thinking is by conducting a ThoughtExchange.

Now that we are a few weeks into the new school year, we want to find out what we can do TOGETHER to make the Wilson School District community even stronger. We will be sharing your thoughts with our board, district leadership team, and staff to determine what ideas and strategies our collective community feels will be best to make this a great school year. Learn more about how you can participate
in this exchange here.

Mental Health Council's Never Alone Walk
On Saturday, September 18, starting at 6PM, Wilson High School will host an event titled, Never Alone: A Suicide Awareness Walk. 

Tragically, suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States and the number of suicides has been increasing since the year 2000. But we can do something about it! 


Please consider joining us this weekend to walk the track and start the conversation about mental health. Help us start the conversation and work towards eliminating the stigma surrounding mental health concerns. 

ALL of us have been touched by friends and family that are working through these challenges and many of us have been directly impacted by suicide. Show your support and help us come together as a community to raise awareness. We hope to see you!
