Wilder has provided quality instruction to students in eastern Jefferson County since 1957. Our students consistently leave our school prepared and ready for middle school. Parents and former students speak positively about their experience at our school. Wilder’s mission is that students will have a solid foundation so that they are prepared to lead in an ever-changing society.
