Winthrop High School overall has been a very hit or miss experience for me. Although I see many great students come from this school, others are not treated the same. In such a small school you tend to see quick favoritism from staff and administrator although NOT ALL. Many teachers have shifted my perspective on school individually although the school itself did not create this drive.

the four years I have spent at WHS have been some of the best. I enjoyed almost every part of attending this school. Every teacher I've had has been so incredible, and the friends I have made are unforgettable as well as the memories.
