Life After WHA: Meet Our Alumni, Part 2 

23 Jul 2024

Last month, we published a blog post about life after attending Wilson Hill Academy. In that post, we shared reflections from Wilson Hill graduates on the impact of a classical education rooted in Scripture.

From a Parent: Kim Willems My son Jackson and I enjoyed the "Your State" class so much! We spent time visiting as many places as we could.

Alumna Spotlight

Abby Holland was the first valedictorian of Wilson Hill Academy and is currently pursuing a Classics major and Spanish minor at the University of Alabama. Here I was at a state university of 37,000 people in a junior level Latin class as a freshman. Needless to say, I was a little overwhelmed and definitely unsure of my ability to thrive in a Latin class composed primarily of juniors and seniors. But, after a couple classes, I
