Big things are happening at the construction site for our new Athey Creek Middle School. See the crews are putting up walls and keeping the project on schedule for welcoming students in the fall of 2023.

Wilsonville High School welcomed nearly 30 community partners on Monday, Nov. 21, giving industry and business leaders the opportunity to meet and brainstorm with teachers. Discussions centered on skills that students need when entering the workforce. From college and career readiness, to industry trends, community partners provided helpful insights that will positively impact Wilsonville students. 

Students across the district honored a historic moment of bravery by joining in the national Ruby Bridges Walk To School Day on Monday, Nov. 14. In 1960, as only a second grader, Bridges became the first African-American to integrate her school in New Orleans, LA. Students today did their own walk to commemorate Bridges’ actions and to speak out against racism and bullying.
