April 16, 2021
This past year has been unlike any that our students have ever experienced. And, for the Senior Class of 2021, is has certainly been a year they will never forget. Through all the ups and downs, hopefulness, and disappointment, the Seniors have shown grace, strength, resilience, and flexibility. They have done their best to find the positive in every situation and have tried to make the most of every moment. We are proud of all of their accomplishments and wish them the best as they move on from Wilson High School to their next chapter.

The Wilson Education Foundation is offering the opportunity for our community to help us create some lasting memories to celebrate their senior year by designing a special send-off for the largest graduating class Wilson High School has seen to date. With your support, we can make it AMAZING!
