Wilder Elementary

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. We empower our students to reach their full potential by providing quality instruction that is inspiring, relevant, and comprehensive. Finally, we teach students responsibility and challenge students to be their best.
