It’s a Great Day to be a Tiger!
Meet the Tigers was a great success! The students who participate in sports and activities were excited to show their Tiger spirit. The field at Tiger Stadium looked great, and the new light bulbs definitely made the playing field brighter. Thank you to our maintenance staff with ABM for going the extra mile to get those light bulbs exchanged and units cleaned.

According to WMCSD Business Manager Amanda Gray, the budget for fiscal year 2022-2023 was presented and approved at the August 9, 2022, Regular Board Meeting. There will be no tax increase due to the Montgomery County millage rate increase which benefited the district with an additional $36,000.00 for the 2022-2023 fiscal year. The WMCSD FY23 Budget will be published in The Winona Times this week.
