Way to go, FCCLA members, for representing Winona with enthusiasm and curiosity. Learning, leading, and making memories along the way!

On Saturday, November 8th, there will be a watch party to cheer on our volleyball girls! Doors will open 30 minutes before game time. Game time will be announced on Friday evening after the conclusion of the semi-finals game. This event is free of charge.
Thursday, November 6, at approximately 8:45 A.M., your Winona Lady Wildcat Volleyball team will be leaving for the State Final Four tournament in St. Joseph, Missouri. Below is the planned route. The bus will turn right, heading North as we leave the school. We will go to 3rd St., make a circle around the square, then travel back in front of the school before leaving town. Just a reminder for those that like to see us off on 60 HWY, we will be heading WEST this year, as the Final Four will be played in St. Joseph rather than Cape Girardeau.
Thank you for your support.
