The WHS cheerleaders, dance team, and some football players went to the Duck Hill HeadStart Center on Wednesday morning to celebrate their homecoming week with a pep rally! Everyone had a great time cheering on the Tigers!
WCTC appreciates our boss every day, but doubly more on Boss's Day! Mrs. Veronica Helms wears many hats, but the one we love the most is having her as OUR "Ring Leader" of the Winona Career and Technical Center! She leads by example... She not only talks the talk, but she walks the walk... No one could lead us better! Happy Boss's Day, Mrs. Veronica Helms! #WCTCthePlacetobe
Show your Homecoming Spirit!
As an introduction to The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ms. Melissa Wheeler's English III students studied eight different pictures from the 1920s, completing "See - Think - Wonder" sheets without knowing anything about the book or the pictures. #HearUsRoar #TheTigerWay
Thank you to the Winona Career and Technical Center's Carpentry, Automotive, and Welding classes for installing a handicap ramp to the back entrance of the CTC building!

Mrs. Milling's Computer Science and Engineering classes are studying Newton's Laws. When students fly paper airplanes, they are showing Newton’s Three Laws of Motion in action. Newton’s First Law is seen because the airplane keeps moving until gravity and air resistance slow it down. Newton’s Second Law is shown because the harder a student throws the airplane, the faster and farther it goes. Newton’s Third Law happens when the student pushes the airplane forward and the airplane pushes back with an equal force.

August Paraprofessional of the Month: Mrs. Jessica Campbell
Ms. Denoon has taken on extra duties time and again. She has risen to the challenge of accepting all her students. Her classroom is a well-oiled machine and safe space for our students. She shows excellent pacing during small-group instruction, moving quickly enough to keep students engaged without leaving anyone behind. She is patient and dedicated to all her students.
Congratulations, Ms. Denoon!
Ms. Owens has been teaching for many years, and instead of losing passion, hers continues to grow stronger each year. She is powerful and calm at the same time. Her instruction and classroom management are impeccable, and she truly loves and cares for her students. She can often be found leading small-group instruction during morning interventions and is always fully engaged with our students throughout the day.
Congratulations, Ms. Owens!
Mrs. Campbell has stepped up in a big way this year, even continuing to run small-group instruction when Mrs. Parkinson was out. Her dedication and initiative make her a true asset to our school.
Congratulations, Mrs. Campbell!
