WILSON SCHOOL RECEIVES HONORABLE MENTION

Welcome to Wilson

Sparking Individual Success to Build a Brighter World

Hello, my name is Steve Hospodar. Not only am I the proud Principal / Superintendent of Wilson School, but I also attended Wilson School, as did both of my children. Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat!

I’d like to extend a warm welcome to you and your family from our Wilson School community. We are a small, rural school, just minutes from downtown Petaluma, serving students in grades TK-6th. Innovative, progressive, and passionate about education, we make sure that every family feels a sense of belonging, that every student becomes a competent and independent learner, and that our educators meet the academic and emotional needs of every student.

I invite you to visit Wilson School and get to know us better!

What PEOPLE Are Saying...

I’ve had 2 kids at Wilson, one graduated last year and one is still there. I love this school. The principal and the teachers are wonderful.

~ J.D.

My daughter goes here and we love it. I went to a small school district when I was little and I get that same feeling here. The teachers are all so nice, and the parents are (mostly) all down to earth and friendly. The principal is very accommodating and communicates well.

Aaron J.

Wonderful small school experience with excellent teachers and administration. Much like an extended family.

~ Angie B.

Wilson school is great. The staff, the teachers, aides, the kids & families are all a joy to see. I love our school.

~ Sandie B.

My son attends Wilson and we’re very pleased. His teacher, Mrs. Pologeorges, is the absolute best, and the small-school feel, the grounds, and most importantly the people make us tremendously satisfied with our decision. Highly recommend!
