Welcome to Wilson! Located in beautiful West Lawn, Pennsylvania on the outskirts of Reading, we serve over 5700 students and 550 faculty members. Our district is comprised of eight elementary schools, two junior high schools, and one senior high school.
Our staff is dedicated to improving student learning and achievement. We pride ourselves on creating opportunities for students to succeed in and out of the classroom with our extensive courseofferings, extracurricular activities, and a climate that is conducive for learning.
Wilson School District addresses character education early and continues teaching its subtle lessons throughout a student’s school years. As an aid to our efforts, we have developed a list of seven character traits that are vital for the development strong, self-worthy young people.
Wilson’s goal is to produce knowledgeable and well-rounded students of high character.
Wilson's motto has remained consistent over the years, "Wilson's Pride - Our Children." That basic Wilsonian tenet is an example of a core value. It is a truth to which the faculty and staff cleave that underlines our attitudes towards our students.
Many successful organizations credit their success to a set of clear core values which are recognized and subscribed to by everyone at the company.
Over time that first motto has expanded as we have reviewed our belief systems and fleshed out our values. We have developed the following list of core values.
Our district mission describes the critical processes that we adhere to in order to produce well-rounded graduates. Wilson's vision, on the other hand, describes what we strive to be and the four paramount methods of reaching our goals.
