Show Your Wildcat Pride Sunday and Celebrate Wilmington's New High School

Teachers and administrators move in Monday and students start classed in their new building on Tuesday.

Come show your Wildcat Pride Sunday to celebrate the opening of the new Wilmington High School on Sunday.

The Wilmington Public Schools and the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce are co-sponsoring this town-wide event on Sunday, Feb. 22 from noon to 2 p.m. Attendees are asked to come sporting their blue and white attire to show your support.

This outdoor event is happening next door to the high school, but don’t worry, there will be plenty of community, food and drinks to keep you warm. Just stop in anytime to show your support and school pride.
