The Wilson Talent Center also known as the “Career Center” is an opportunity for juniors and seniors. The talent center allows for students to take a class that is more career oriented and provides more opportunities and experience in work fields that students are interested in. Many different students from different schools attend this school which allows students to meet new people and learn how to work in a more professional environment.

 “I feel that Wilson is a great opportunity to engage students in a more mature workplace standard,” junior Samantha Nothnagel said. “It prepares students for life outside of high school.” 

The Talent Center includes over 22 different opportunities for students to advance their skills. The Health Foundations class provides you with a CPR and First Aid certification, the Automotive Technology class leads you to become ASE certified, the Welding class allows you to become a certified Welder in the state and there are also classes coming in the next school year like Teaching Careers that will widen the options even more. The list goes on and on with a variety of opportunities.

Stockbridge students visit the talent center in eighth and 10th grade along with an informative  presentation to teach them what it is all about. These events have shined bright lights on Wilson which may have been misleading to some.

Wilson also takes up half of the normal school day so you would only attend three Stockbridge classes a day. This could possibly prevent you from getting the amount of credits needed your junior year. 

“I decided not to attend Wilson when I learned that I wouldn’t be able to receive all of my junior year credits for graduating,” junior Macy Cipta said.
