Wilson High School 2019 Auction

 Attendees at the Wilson auction on April 2 raised over $20,000 for the Wilson Foundation! If you weren’t able to attend, there’s still time to make a contribution to help raise money to hire additional teachers, decreasing class size, increasing class choices, and creating more opportunities to succeed for all Wilson students.

At the Auction, four Wilson students shared their personal and inspiring stories of why the connections between students and teachers matter more than just learning content and getting a grade. You can watch sophomore Emma Laboe’s speech here, and then head over and make a donation at https://allhandsraised.org/donate/ (select Wilson as your recipient). Thank you so much for your support!

On behalf of the Wilson Foundation, Boosters and PTA, and the many clubs, teams, and organizations who contributed to the 2019 Be a Hero for Wilson Auction, Thank You!

For every item purchased, you are providing value for our students and school.
