The '''Wilson School District'''
The '''Wilson School District''' is home to over 5700 students from several communities (including the Township of Spring, West Lawn, Sinking Spring, Lower Heidelberg, and a portion of Wyomissing) and 1099 faculty/staff members. It is located in [[West Lawn, Pennsylvania]] and it's the "Home of the Bulldogs".

The school district serves students in eight elementary schools, two junior high schools, and one high school.

Throughout its history, Wilson athletics has incorporated educational athletics into its curriculum, as a vehicle to teach life lessons related to the promotion of sportsmanship and character development.
Recognizing the many challenges facing modern day interscholastic athletics, Wilson athletics adopted the Pursuing Victory With Honor program in 2003 to assist all invested parties in maintaining and promoting the integrity and educational value of Wilson athletics. Through the framework of the "Six Pillars of Character," Wilson athletics strives to teach, enforce, advocate and model positive sportsmanship and character development within the Wilson athletic teams.
