We are grateful to have Mr. Wilson as a Teacher Assistant on our STSS team. Mr. Wilson is a native Charlottean and a graduate of Olympic High School. He is currently working on receiving his degree and teaching license in special education. He is an excellent testament to perseverance for all of us. He is also a great example of wanting to give back to students. Recently, CMS EC Department representatives came out to the Naomi Drenan Suspension Center to hear his story and see him work. Mr. WIlson is an awesome individual, and we are lucky to have him on our staff.
