WHS Faculty and Staff decided to participate in the "6-7" fun for the 67th day of school on 11/19/25. Some wore "67" t-shirts; and 6 7 signs were hung up throughout the high school and displayed on the windows. Not sure the High School Students enjoyed all the hype; but we did. 😁Only 108 days left of the school year.

Congratulations to the two Winchester High School students, Sofie Grubb and Luca Naccarato, who have been named a 2026-27 Illinois State Scholar, one of "the best and brightest" of Illinois high school seniors in the Class of 2026. State Scholars are selected through a combination of exemplary college assessment examination scores and records of high school achievement from nearly every high school in Illinois. While the accolade does not have a monetary value, being designated a State Scholar is a prestigious honor and an outstanding accomplishment. Way to go, Sofie and Luca!
