Wilmot Union High School is a public secondary school located in Wilmot, Wisconsin, an unincorporated community in the town of Salem, Kenosha County, Wisconsin. Founded in the 1870s, the high school serves grades 9 to 12. Both the school and the community are named after the Wilmot Proviso, by David Wilmot.
The school is the sole member of the Wilmot Union High School District, and is fed by several elementary districts, including Randall School District, Twin Lakes School District, Silver Lake School District, Salem School District, Wheatland School District, and the Trevor-Wilmot Consolidated School District.
In March 2016 the Wilmot Academic Decathlon team won its third consecutive state title. Winning the state title has qualified the Wilmot Academic Decathlon team to participate in the national competition over the same three-year span. Their first nationals were held in Honolulu, Hawaii, where the team finished runner-up in division II. The next two nationals appearances led to division II national championships which were held in Garden Grove, CA, and Anchorage, AK, respectively. Following their second consecutive national championship, Governor Scott Walker visited Wilmot Union High School and proclaimed June 1, 2016, Wilmot Union High School Academic Decathlon Team Day throughout Wisconsin. The team was established in 2004.
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.
