Wilson Education Partnership is dedicated to supporting and celebrating educators. When we uplift teachers, we empower them to shape future generations.
Our teachers are more than educators — they are:
-
Mentors and role models who guide students with care
-
Catalysts for change who inspire curiosity and growth
-
Builders of community fostering empathy, civic responsibility, and critical thinking
Together, we create classrooms that strengthen our community today and for the future.
WEP Mini-Grants
WEP Mini-grants support Wilson County Schools educators with academically focused classroom projects. These grants support innovative projects, hands-on activities, and creative approaches that enrich the educational experience and inspire students beyond the standard curriculum.
Mini-grants will be awarded on a competitive basis to educators for innovative and classroom-worthy projects that show the promise of benefiting students and improving educational performance.
Teacher Recognitions and Celebrations
Wilson Education Partnership (WEP) proudly partners with Wilson County Schools to recognize, support, and celebrate the incredible educators who shape the future of our community. Through annual events and ongoing encouragement, we show our appreciation for the dedication and impact of Wilson’s teachers.
Teacher & Principal of the Year Celebration
Each year, WEP coordinates and hosts the Teacher of the Year (TOY) and Principal of the Year (POY) Celebration, providing cash gifts to the winners. WEP board members also play a role in the selection process, ensuring that the achievements of these leaders are celebrated in a meaningful way.
Teacher of the Year Luncheon
In addition to the celebration, WEP organizes a special luncheon exclusively for Teachers of the Year. This event offers an opportunity for honorees to connect, enjoy goodies, and share in a joyful, community-building experience.
Beginning Teachers Support
New teachers receive encouraging messages, a mid-year celebration, and a graduation event after completing their first three years—all designed to support, motivate, and recognize their journey.
Congratulations Annette Faison Principal of the Year!
