Wilmington's Community

The new Wilmington high school which we moved into last February.

Wilmington, Massachusetts is a small town just 20 minutes north of the city of Boston, which was established in 1730 with 22,325 people living in the town. With all the monuments, memorials and community events the essence of a close knit community is captured. Wilmington has been known for its patriotism and supporting people when they need it. In 2015, we made a transition into a brand new high school which was much needed change. The new school provides more opportunities for students and a safe learning environment.

Located in the common, is one of the few veterans memorials. 

In Wilmington, we celebrate our veterans returning and getting donations to help them not only while they’re serving our country, but after. With the Local Heroes club, they do a lot to help to raise money and supplies for the soldiers. In the common across from the high school, there are memorials such as the Prisoners of War monument and Missing in Action, remembering those who fought for our country.

Growing up in Wilmington, sports are a major part of the community. In the town newspaper, they congratulate athletes and teams that should be recognized for their accomplishments. During sporting events, there is usually a strong fan section especially during the hockey season. It just shows how the students of Wilmington High support and represent their town.

In the main office the town crier for some of the sports teams are hung up congratulating them.
