My Son will be a Senior this year. I think Wilson is the Best High School in Tacoma! The Principal and his staff are the friendliest, knowledgeable, and they know how to run a great High School. Thanks Wilson!

One daughter graduated from Wilson. She had a great high school experience and was prepared her for a successful experience at an out of state private college. Our second daughter is currently attending Wilson and is having a very positive experience. The Honors and AP classes are challenging, the teachers caring, and the principal is incredible. Mr. Besett is involved, positive, and effective. Wilson provides great opportunities for involvement in sports, choir, clubs, and music. There are dedicated parents involved in the Ram Fans and Wilson Music Boosters. I highly recommend this school!

I was in the "honors" and "AP" programs at Wilson High School. The teachers had high expectations, and provided us with all the instruction that we needed to attain those goals. The principal and other senior staff were present in our daily activities. They could always be found interacting with students. This aided to the order of things around campus. Also, you know teachers are good when students are being challenged, but still love to come to class. That was my experience at Wilson.
