This school may seem like a horrible school from what people say but we now have a new principal that has done absolute wonders with our lack of discipline problems. Mr. Horton is the best pricipal since Mr. Patterson and Mr. Thompson, he not only cares about the apperance of the students while in school, but he cares about how they make Wilson look inside and outside of school. And the teaching staff is wonderful we have 2 teachers that have just recently finished their doctorates, all we have at Wilson are talented teachers. I have gone to Wilson since kindergarden and can not imagine going or sending my kids anywhere but to Wilson High School
