Favorite Memory: “My favorite memory is taking a group of students and families to Washington, D.C., this past May. It was so much fun to see our students witness many of our nation’s historic landmarks.”
Best advice to students: “Never stop learning and always be willing to help people.”
We’re excited for you to join us next Thursday for great conversation and guest speakers! Parents, students, and community members are all welcome! Please note the location change to Wolfe Lab.

Meet Richard Boone, welding instructor at the Winona Career and Technical Center! Mr. Boone has been teaching at the Winona Career and Technical Center for two years, and his favorite teaching memory is his students winning second place in the district welding competition in his second year of teaching.
His advice to students: Never think you know everything. Humble yourself and be willing to learn. Be teachable.
Honoring the legacy of Dr. King.
This is such an important topic for our students. We hope to see you at WSS on January 30th!
In honor of the Winona Montgomery School District’s elevation to a State of Mississippi High Performing district rating this year, Dr. Howard Savage presented the WMSD Board of Trustees with a trophy Tuesday night to commemorate the district’s academic achievement. The trophy will travel to Winona Elementary School, Winona Secondary School, and Winona Career and Technical Center before returning to the WMSD District Office. This outstanding achievement of enormous growth was a district-wide accomplishment.
