2024-2025 District Goals

The Wilson School District remains dedicated to our vision of "creating a place where students love to learn, staff love to work, and people love to live." In alignment with this vision, we establish annual goals to guide our progress and growth. At the September 3 School Board meeting, Superintendent Dr. Chris Trickett unveiled the 2024-2025 goals, highlighting our strategic focus for the year. He also reflected on some of the remarkable achievements from the previous school year. To learn more, click here to view the full presentation.

Construction Update:

Thanks to favorable weather and additional manpower from the masonry contractor, the construction of our new Performing Arts Center is making significant progress. Blockwork is advancing steadily, and underground work is paving the way for the upcoming development of the orchestra pit. We are committed to minimizing disruption to students and staff throughout this construction process.

Keep an eye out for more updates as the project continues!

Grandview Gallery New Exhibit

Grandview Gallery invites you to the opening reception of "Organic Reflections" by Aubrey Maurer! Join us September 14th, 1-4 pm. The Grandview Gallery is located in the Wilson School District Administration Building, 2601 Grandview Blvd., West Lawn, PA.

"Nature has always been a profound source of inspiration for me as an artist. Its intricate beauty, boundless diversity, and inherent balance provides a canvas upon which I try to convey my unique perspectives on the relationship between humans and the natural world. To me, nature represents a sanctuary, a place of solace where I can reconnect with my primal roots and find tranquility amidst the chaos of modern life. I seek to capture this essence, portraying serene landscapes with lush forests and pristine lakes, as well as more abstract visions that hopefully beckon the viewer to explore and cherish the wonders of the natural world."
