WHS FreshmAn Transition Hub

Welcome TO NINTH GRADE EXPERIENCE!

Congratulations, you've made it to high school! The next four years will have a tremendous impact on the direction you are planning on taking after you graduate. These years are going to be both exciting and demanding. The level of rigor and independence you will see in high school will challenge all of you in different ways. The goal in 9th grade is to ease the transition to high school and build skills and habits of mind to help you meet the challenges you will face in the future. The purpose of this site is to serve as a hub of information for your freshman year.

Important Information

Freshmen Orientation

Freshmen students will have orientation on Thursday, August 21, 2025 from 10 am - 1:30 pm and will start in the High School Lower House Cafeteria (via the ramp door by Bulldog Field). The day will end with a club fair. This is a great opportunity for your child to acclimate to Wilson High School as well as make new friends.
