My time with Winamac Community High School was an overall great high school experience. From the amazing school food to the family feeling school community, I don't think that I would have changed anything about it. With our new school principle, Mr. Tucker, the school atmosphere has definitely improved even more. I think that I am very much satisfied with the four years that I have attended here.

There are lots of fresh fruits and veggies offered, but most of the main courses are terrible. The blueberry cobbler is the best though.
