ORDER OF EVENTS

WIS's 60th Anniversary Gala will take you on a journey through WIS history and across the Tregaron Campus as we gather to appreciate the many different aspects of what has made our school so special throughout the years — and party to secure its brilliant future!

Here's what to expect:

In honor of our 60th celebration, we are extending the evening with two new bookend events to thank and appreciate our community in conversation and cocktails.

Finish the evening with a fabulous, fun celebration. Chat with friends and enjoy music, dancing, and cocktails as we toast six decades of WIS spirit.
