You receive an hour of tutoring within the three hours you spend after school because in Drill education comes first. Discipline because once you are on this team you uphold certain expectations such as, having at least a 2.0, always on time to school, and always on your best behavior in school and out of school. You represent Wilson once you are on this team so being the best you is always required. You are constantly involved with the community by being in different parades from El sereno to highland park to eagle rock.

Coaches quote...
Captain's Message
Drill has taught me so much about time management and discipline. Having the support of not only my coaches, but my team made my high school experience amazing. No matter where life takes me, Drill will forever be a part of me.

Vision
English Language Arts encourages students to find their “voices” as they collaborate with world literature and complex texts. The study of English further develops their communication skills and cultural expression. Students reflect rigorous critical-thinking at all levels of literacy from English Learners to students with special needs and to IB “Diploma Programme” participants.
Mission
Our mission is to provide a quality arts and educational experience that is creative and challenging to all students who have an interest or passion for the arts. The integration of an education which supports the A-G requirements for college admission and a visual and performing arts theme will provide opportunities to increase student engagement and participation, promote the arts as an essential part of life by making connections to student life experiences and global issues, to promote visual and artistic literacy and create a lifelong passion for the arts.
