CHURCHILL CLUSTER NEWS!
The first weekend in February is a busy one at Winston Churchill High School! Please join us! We have two big events coming up for our community.

On February 1 - Winter-Basketball community night! A night for our Churchill cluster families. Kids get in free and there are games & prizes. Click flyer for more info.
On February 2 we have our annual Booster Club sports gala - a parents only event that celebrates our student-athletes and is one of the largest fundraising efforts for Churchill Athletics. As you may know, our high school athletics program is funded only about 25% by the county. The rest is raised through the school athletic events and through Boosters. This is a fun and totally casual night. Click flyer for more info
