In five short years, the WHS Mock Trial Club has grown from a fledgling start-up to a club that has made consecutive appearances in the State Quarter-Finals. Mock Trial attracts many students with a variety of interests and backgrounds: from the future lawyers of WHS to the thespians to the year-round athlete, all of whom learn skills ranging from public speaking, writing, and of course, understanding the law. Students on the team prepare the roles of both witness and attorney in a pre-arranged "mock" case prepared for purposes of the State competition. The student witnesses learn the facts from mocked-up affidavits and prepare to answer any questions from lawyers during the direct and cross examinations while the student lawyers study the case file to craft questions for their examinations of the witnesses. They then meet at a State courthouse to compete against other area schools in the actual courtrooms, with area practitioners serving as judges. If you are interested, come join us Mondays at 3 in room 232.

While battling cancer, children lose not only their hair but also years of their childhood, and sometimes their lives. Participants in a St. Baldrick’s event shave their heads in exchange for donations towards research. It’s a simple concept, a fun time and a very effective fundraiser - since its national founding in 2000, the St. Baldrick's Foundation has rose well over $50 million with head shavings in 18 countries, and shaved over 390,000 heads. Our team is comprised of Wilton High School students and staff started in 2007 for a area child diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma at age two-and-a-half who is now cancer free. For our first two years we participated with the Fairfield based TeamBrent, but eventually members of our school created a Wilton High School offshoot in 2009.
