Honors Internship Program |
The Wilson High School Honors Internship Program allows our students to learn about a career they are interested in pursuing. Our students intern at a variety of local businesses and establishments to gain valuable experiences. The program allows the students to gain workplace skills necessary for their future college/career goals.
We have been highlighting some of our interns on the Wilson School District social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter). Follow us to see what a typical day at one of our high school internships looks like!
If you or your business would be interested in learning more about how you can be part of the Wilson High School Internship Program, please contact Mrs. Stephanie Wagner at WagSte@wilsonsd.org.

Valentines for Vets - A Great Way to Honor Our Veterans! |
|
Continuing our long standing Wilson tradition, please join us in participating in the Valentines for Vets Community Service Activity! The Valentines are collected and distributed to Veterans who have served to protect the freedom we all enjoy and hold so dear. It sends a message of pride and goodwill to the men and women who have given so much of themselves for our country and for our benefit! Valentines are appreciated from students, families, groups or organizations, such as Boys Scouts and Girl Scouts — from everyone! Please pass this opportunity along to friends and family.
You can participate by sending in Valentines designed, decorated, and written by kids! The more the better! The Veterans hospitals have also requested that glitter, sequins, etc. are used sparingly to decorate your Valentines. Valentines in all languages are appreciated!
In order for the project to be successful, please send in your Valentines by Monday, February 7, so that they can be sorted and delivered in time for Valentine’s Day.
If you would like your class or organization to participate, please send/deliver Valentines to Krista Steffy at Cornwall Terrace Elementary School, 3100 Iroquois Avenue, Sinking Spring. Questions can be directed to Krista Steffy, stekri@wilsonsd.org.
