15 Original Staff Members Left In School's 15th Year
Physical Education teacher and head baseball coach David Wilson has been with the school for each step of its journey.
“Over the course of 15 years, you see a lot of change,” Wilson said. “Every milestone or everything that’s happened at the school, I’ve been there.”
Similar to the growth Wilson saw in the school itself, Wilson had also seen progress from many of his students and players.
“When you see kids set goals in life, and you watch them go on and accomplish them, that’s really exciting,” Wilson said.
While the advancement of students and the school both held special meaning to Wilson, there were also lighthearted moments that meant a lot to him over the years.
“One of the neatest days we ever had was when we went outside and watched the eclipse,” Wilson said. “We all had our glasses on. I look back to that day and just kind of laugh. That was really cool. I’ll never forget where I was when that happened.”
