The Road to a Wilson Graduate's Success!
Every school is unique yet connected by the common goal of empowering students to create their own future.
Now, more than ever, the educational experience should not only impart academic knowledge but also intentionally cultivate the skills and mindsets essential for success in today's dynamic and interconnected world.
The Wilson School District has crafted a "Profile of a Wilson Graduate" through extensive research, including input from students, staff, community members, and alumni. The profile outlines Wilson’s indicators for life, career, and college readiness.
Click here to explore the essential traits that our students should acquire during their time at Wilson. The "Path for Readiness" offers indicators to guide students on their journey, fostering a school environment where "students love to learn."
In the coming months, we will be featuring examples of the “Profile of a Graduate” in action in our schools as we strive to create life-, career-, and college-ready students!

Wilson Theatre Company
Based on the beloved Charles Schulz comic strip, this musical revue brings the iconic “Peanuts” characters to life through songs and short stories of the lovable but insecure Charlie Brown and all his friends.
Through the humorous, reflective, and often emotionally erratic journey of daily life, Charlie Brown ultimately learns the value of having good friends who embrace our flaws, celebrate our unique qualities, and help us find contentment in the little things.

Wilson Widespread is a project created by the collaboration of the high school media and communications interns! It is a series featuring Wilson students, clubs, alumni, and helpful resources. This past month’s student spotlight featured High School senior and equestrian Celeste Garber. Throughout the year, Celeste cares for horses and trains them, whether for the summer show season or through her duties as an assistant trainer in the fall. Celeste has been dedicated to this activity from a young age, spending the majority of her time outside of school in a field she is passionate about. She is appreciative of the support and camaraderie from her peers and teachers at Wilson! | |
