The Bill Simpson Award is presented annually by the SCISA to an outstanding graduating male and female student who best exemplifies the academic and athletic qualities that Mr. Simpson represented throughout his career as the SCISA
Athletic Secretary. Mr. Simpson, an educator first and foremost, emphasized the
importance of academic performance. A school's Headmaster may nominate a
graduating senior male and female for this award. Criteria for selection
includes the following: Headmaster's recommendation; SAT score; class rank;
student service record; academic and athletic achievement; Coaches'
recommendations, and community service record. The Bill Simpson Award is the
highest honor bestowed upon a student-athlete in the South Carolina Independent
School Association. Wilson Hall has had seven graduating seniors chosen for this
honor, the most of any school in the region.
Another tradition at Wilson Hall is the pre-game meal. Hosted at the home of a different player each time, the
pre-game meal provides the opportunity for the team, coaches and parents to socialize before the game. The
meals range from casual cook-outs to catered dinners.
