w Memorial 3 tujh School rn 1947 four former high schools from Stuarts Draft, Beverley Manor, New Hope, and Fishersville were consolidated into one large high school at the Wilson Educational Center, the former Woodrow Wilson General Hospital, located on route 250 between Fishersville and Staunton. The name chosen for the school was Wilson Memorial High School. This year there were about 950 students who attended the new school. Again in 1949 the County School Board moved another high school, Mid- dlebrook, into Wilson Memorial which added about 100 students to the enroll¬ ment. This addition plus new students has increased the enrollment to about 1200 pupils. We are proud of our school and the progress it has made during the three years of its existence. Manx of our graduates are now enrolled at various schools of their choice and are bringing prominance to our school. Others are making a successful place for themselves in business or by establishing homes of their own. Did you know these interesting facts about your school? Students are transported to and from school by 26 county owned busses. 99% of the students ride the busses. Students are transported from as far as 30 miles from school. 47 teachers plus the principal and assistant principal make up the faculty. Many of the teachers board or have apartments on the school grounds. There are 52 classrooms in use. There are 33 homerooms with these divisions; 6 senior homerooms, 7 jun¬ iors, 9 sophomores and 11 freshmen homerooms. That there are 18 clubs in the school. The Wilson Echo is our school newspaper and is published once a month. That the Wilson Educational Center, is made up of three schools: The State Rehabilitation Center, the Woodrow Wilson Technical School and Wilson Memorial High School. There are 26 acres in the school grounds.
