Our Wilmington Community

The Fourth of July Building 

Fireworks from the Wilmington's
celebration.

Although the town of Wilmington is rather small, the love for our community is enormous. One of our most known buildings in the town is our Fourth of July building. The Fourth of July is a holiday celebrated every year to remember the founding of our country. It is a big deal all over America, but here in Wilmington it is taken more seriously than other towns in MA and is much more important than in other locations. During the celebration, our town has a carnival for all of the members of the town with rides, games, and local food stands including the boy scouts, girl scouts, sports teams, and many more organizations of Wilmington. We have a spectacular fireworks display where not only the members of our town come but also the members of surrounding towns come because it is such a grand display. There is even a separate night for family fireworks that are less intense for the families with younger children. You can not find a building dedicated to the Fourth of July in and other surrounding town, it is a truly unique aspect to Wilmington and something that we pride ourselves in having.

The new
Wilmington High School

The students attending Wilmington High School from 2014-2015 were able to experience something that many others don’t get to; a new high school. The students, along with the faculty, started off the school year in the old high school. In the middle of the school year, students and faculty were able to experience a transition into the new school after months of deliberation and construction. What made the experience even more unique was the fact that we can see the destruction of our old school from the windows of our new school. Not many students are able to learn in a new environment, especially seeing as the old one was standing for 65 years. This new school has a lot of new technology that aids us in our learning, like projectors, microphones, laptops, and wifi for the whole building. The technology allows the school to be much safer than the old one. The transition from old to new school makes our community unique.

Wilmington is not just a town, it is a community that brings its members together through its dedication to learning and its commitment to providing events for everyone to take part of.
