Wilson Area High School

I have had one daughter graduate from WHS and she is currently a sophomore at an excellent university. I have also a son and daughter currently attending Wilson high. I have always loved the atmosphere and the education provided by the outstanding and caring teachers. WHS has been part of my family for many many years as my grandfather was head of the English department, my father graduated from Wilson and so did I. I wouldn't want my children attending any other schools in this area.

My Son attends WAHS, I will say this school has those most dedicated teachers I have ever seen. I am very excited for him, and I know he will be getting the education he needs to Succeed, good supportive teachers and good supportive parenting goes a long way.

I had one child graduate and one still in school. Unfortunately some of the most difficult subjects have some of the worst teachers. Not all teachers were willing to help if child had trouble understanding something. Have also had them change rules in the middle of the game couple of times.

I graduated from Wilson last year. I took several AP classes at Wilson and graduated with 12 college credits. Some classes were limited though due to the schools small size. I felt that all of the teachers went the extra mile and acted as great role models. Mr. Stewart was my personal favorite and inspired me to pursue a degree in chemisrty. I also had the opportunity to be involved in many extra curricular activities and made many friends. A great school!

I recently graduated from Wilson, and I have to say that I was not fully prepared academically for college life. Sometimes I wish that Wilson will focus more closely on academics instead of after-school activities. My whole freshman year was playing catch-up for me. Many Wilson students have horrible spelling and grammar. As to the fact that everyone knew each other and it was a small school, that could be bad, too. The school sometimes did not offer things like AP Calculus and Spanish because they were not enough kids. Additionally, if the student was not liked by one other student they were inevitably tortured by many other students because everyone knew each other. Wilson is a small town with small minds, and if you are not in the clique, you are not treated with respect.

I have had 2 out of 3 of my children attend WAHS. One graduated and was on the honor society and they were both into after school activities. The teachers were always willing to give extra help.

I graduated from this school in 1998. I received an outstanding education and have since earned a college degree and have recently begun a career. The teachers, as well as administrators, always showed me a positive attitude. I know that each and every person that I have kept contact with has went on to further their education. To me this shows that the school has a very successful teaching staff. I would have no issue with sending my children to this educational institution someday.
