Homecoming Concert

(Excerpt of Editorial “Significance of Wilson High School’s Homecoming from Allie E. Brooks

former Principal of Wilson High School)

Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary defines homecoming as “1) a return home and 2) the

return of a group of people usually on a special occasion to place a formerly frequented or

regarded as home, especially an annual celebration for alumni at a college or university.

Perhaps like no other high school in South Carolina and very few, if any, across this

nation, Wilson’s history is one of outstanding accomplishments. So, annually we come together

to celebrate as a community. We fly our flags on our cars, don our purple and gold, cheer and

fellowship together at the various events to make a statement about how far we have come.

In the words of our Alma Mater, As on we go our aim shall grow, our cheers will ever

cry. To do the right with all of our might, For thee Dear Wilson High.
