Extracurricular activities

Academic Decathlon

In March 2018 the Wilmot Academic Decathlon team won its fifth consecutive state title, which qualified the team to participate in the national competition. The school has won two Division 2 national championships in 2015 and 2016. The team was established in 2004.

Music

On June 11, 2011, a student-led pop group won a statewide WSMA Battle Of The Bands competition, "The Les Paul Launchpad Competition", and earned the school's band program $5,000. The music department used the money to purchase four Yamaha electric pianos, and has obtained approval from the school board to create The Chase Promenade Midi and Piano Laboratory to house these instruments. The Laboratory will be used for classes such as Small Pop Ensemble.
