The school was named after the late Melvin Wilson, a local educator, principal, and Nebo School District superintendent who also served on the Payson City Council from 1948-1955. Classes first began at Wilson School in 1959.  The modern digital sign out front publicizes school events, including the upcoming Victory Assembly.

The school year is young, yet students at Wilson Elementary School are already accomplishing a great deal. Some of these young scholars will be honored at a Victory Assembly slated for Friday, September 29.

Mr. Zak Nowell, who teaches second grade at Wilson Elementary, reports that the event is in conjunction with the “Leader in Me School” program with which the west Payson school has recently become affiliated. He is hopeful that this month’s Victory Assembly will become an ongoing event throughout the year so that many of the school’s remarkable students can be recognized for their educational achievements.

The upcoming assembly will honor four students from each grade level’s class at Wilson, which numbers close to sixty students in all, Mr. Nowell notes. Excellence Awards will be presented in categories of Math, Attendance, Language Arts, and Leadership.

“This is something to celebrate the good things the students are doing,” Mr Nowell explains, adding that the community’s involvement is encouraged.  Everyone is invited to come and show their support.

Held in the school gymnasium, the Victory Assembly will start at 1 PM.  Wilson Elementary School is located at 590 West 500 South, Payson, Utah.
