Being a student at Wilmington High School is definitely very different as opposed to other towns. Wilmington as a whole is a small town type of deal, everyone knows each other. Wilmington residents are heavily involved with athletics. The well known people in school are usually the athletic students. At our high school, when there are big events such as playoffs there are announcements to cheer on our teams at the end of the day. The expectation is to wear school colors and to go to support. Each year, there is always a spirit week when students dress up and show their spirit for the school. In the school gym, there are banners showing the championships from the sports teams. There are also plaques of the championships in the main hallway of the school. Throughout Wilmington it is really well known about the accomplishments the sports team achieved. For example, the ninety nines has pictures of all sports teams around the whole restaurant.

Wilmington takes pride in our athletics, we have recently added a turf development, baseball field, softball field, tennis courts, and a track. Each field having a significant meaning behind them, they are all named after alumni of Wilmington High School. Wilmington is a welcoming community, especially in athletics.
