History
The new Wilson High School opened in 1970.
In 1970, Woodrow Wilson Senior High School moved to its new campus on top of Multnomah Avenue. The school was designed by architect Paul Williams. Wilson was the first LAUSD School to implement multi-floored buildings equipped with elevators and escalators to accommodate disabled students.
Wilson High School has had problems with overcrowding. As with most inner-city public schools, the large influx of the student population has been a cause of concern for administrators and parents alike. With a set capacity prescribed almost 40 years ago when Wilson was built, this past decade has been a struggle for students as their educational experience is amid overcrowded classrooms and under staffed faculty.
In 2007 Wilson High School celebrated its 70th anniversary. In 2012 it will celebrate its 75th anniversary.
 
1970's Football City Championships
During the 1970s, Wilson’s football coach was the legendary Vic Cuccia. Coach Cuccia led the Mighty Mules to a 39-game winning streak, taking the team to win the City’s Section 3-A championship in 1975, 1976, and 1977.
Cuccia’s own son, Ron Cuccia, was the team’s quarterback for those three years, during which time he set a City and State record for passing, accounted for 145 touchdowns, and set a national record for total offense with 11,451 yards. The Mighty Mules also went on to win the City championship title in 1978. During his 22 years as the football coach (1956-1977), Vic Cuccia compiled a 151-42-6 record. He was also a teacher, serving all his 44 teaching years at Wilson High School. Coach Vic Cuccia, who grew up in El Sereno, was honored for his dedication and work on September 1999. Wilson High School’s football stadium was renamed in his honor (the football field had already been dedicated in honor of Paul Barthel, a former Wilson teacher). Coach Vic Cuccia passed away on January, 2008 at the age of 80.
