The teachers encourage students to try hard. There are some many clubs and activities to do through out the year being a senior now I get to be involved so much. And everyone is one big family and gets along very well. Winnebago high school is an amazing safe and caring high school that gets you ready for college.

My experience at Winnebago High School has been great. The best part of my experience is the friends I made. The worst part is the food served for lunch. If anything was to change, I would want our "Pride Time" to be reinsated as the old version.
