Woodrow Wilson Parents & Families,

Welcome to Wilson Junior High, home of the Warriors.  The Wilson Staff is honored to serve the children and families of our community. The administrative team and staff take the safety of our children very seriously. We work to establish positive relationships with all our students and strive to instill and model positive interactions between students. We are a school that provides a high-quality education and opportunities for students to grow and develop. Our students and staff take pride in being a part of Wilson Junior High and strive to build a great culture and safe learning environment for our students. We aim to foster the development of each child to reach their full potential.

“Our mission is to provide an educational environment which reinforces basic cultural values, ethical behavior, including respect for others, personal integrity, responsibility and accountability. We will work together to provide students with a safe environment in which they can discover their potential and strengthen their motivation for living and learning. As tomorrow’s leaders, students will be prepared to participate and function effectively in society.”

Our School Goals:

•      The school community will strive to develop students’ greatest potential academically, socially, emotionally and create a foundation for life-long learning.

•      Parent, communication, commitment and involvement will be encouraged and valued.

•      We will foster appreciation and respect for individuals and cultural diversity of our community as we work together toward common goals.

We ask parents to remind their students to reach out to the adults on campus if they are experiencing any type of issue in which they need help. We have a fabulous support team ready and willing to assist. Our two counselors, social worker, psychologist and Hanford Police School Resource Officer, along with the rest of the staff, are here to support our student body in working through the issues of adolescence.

We thank you for your continued support and encourage you to reach out with questions or concerns.
