The school is the sole member of the Wilmot Union High School District, and is fed by several elementary districts, including Randall School District, Twin Lakes School District, Silver Lake School District, Salem School District, Wheatland School District, and the Trevor-Wilmot Consolidated School District.

Wilmot bands and orchestra

• The Wilmot Guardsmen Marching Band includes all members of the Wilmot band program.
• The Wind Ensemble is an honors class made up of sophomores, juniors and seniors in the Wilmot band program. Membership is by audition only.
• The Panther Band and Red & White Concert Bands are open to all instrumental music students at Wilmot High School.
• The Jazz Ensemble is open to all sophomores, juniors and seniors in the Wilmot band program who are enrolled in one of the large ensembles.
• String Orchestra is open to all students who play violin, viola, cello or stringed bass.
• Small Pop Ensemble is a contemporary music ensemble made up entirely of students. The students create the music, rehearse and perform as a working band. The mission of the class is to offer college entrance level music theory to the students of Wilmot High School. The students then put that knowledge into practice to create the band. Small Pop Ensemble performs for the Wilmot Student Body, at the dinner concert "SENSATION" and tours the area grade schools.

On June 11th, 2011, a student-lead pop group consisting of Billy Akers (Vocals), Brandon Kempf (Guitar), Tony Diaz (Bass) and Matt Spatol (Drums), named Chase Promenade, won a statewide WSMA Battle Of The Bands competition, "The Les Paul Launchpad Competition", and won the school's band program $5,000. The music department has chosen to use the money to purchase four Yamaha electric pianos, and has gotten approval from the school board to create The Chase Promenade Midi and Piano Laboratory to house these instruments. The Laboratory will be used for classes such as Small Pop Ensemble.
