We would like to thank sophomore Audrey Beverage and music instructor Mr. Adam Gordon for delivering a stunning performance of the National Anthem at our volleyball season opener. The JV team achieved a win in two sets, and the Varsity team secured a win in three sets. Excellent work, Lady Cats.

Picture day is September 4th. All forms are being sent home today.

Our community truly showed up in support of our baseball team yesterday! Thanks to the generosity of families, friends, and local supporters, the team received 240 bottles of water and 171 bottles of Powerade and Gatorade to help keep our athletes hydrated throughout the season. In addition, many graciously gave monetary donations, further strengthening the resources available to our players. This outpouring of support not only provides the essentials our team needs but also reminds our players that they are surrounded by a community that believes in them. We are grateful for every contribution and for the continued encouragement as the team works hard both on and off the field!

Kindly ensure that all forms are completed and returned to Mrs. Sue's basket. Several folders have been submitted this week, but they are due back by Monday! These were handed out within homerooms, ensuring each student received a copy. Seniors were provided with a SENIOR SPOTLIGHT along with their forms this year. Please be sure to complete those and return them to Mrs. Kyle or Mrs. Cox, including a picture, so that we may share them with local newspapers and on our social media platforms. #wildcatfamily #wearehereforyou #gowildcats

The 24-25 Yearbooks are available. If you would like to purchase one, please send $35.00 in an envelope with the words "YEARBOOK " on the front of the envelope along with your students name and teacher. We will send home a yearbook and a receipt.

As we started this new school year, we would like to thank the Winona HS Beta Club and The Winona Church of God of Prophecy for their kindness and the sweet treats the staff has received. It is greatly appreciated.

Here's to a great school year!!

Welcome to a new baseball season!

We have just been notified that we are under a boil water order until at least Thursday. We will have bottled water available but please send your child to school this week with a full water bottle.

We are eager to welcome our Wildcats back to the hallways and classrooms tomorrow, marking the beginning of a new school year. We would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of a few key details. We urge all drivers to exercise extreme caution when encountering our buses or any other buses, prioritizing the safety of our students. It is crucial to put phones away and focus on the road, as our buses carry our most precious passengers. We invite students to embark on this new academic journey with optimism, recognizing the potential for personal growth, academic achievement, and meaningful relationships. Let us all remember that a new school year brings new beginnings, new adventures, new friendships, and new challenges. The slate is clean, and anything can happen. Education is the most powerful tool that can be utilized to change the world.
