Thank you for helping us make sure all students are taken care of!

Our condolences go out to the family and friends of former WISD school board member, Chris McElyea, who passed away yesterday. Chris faithfully served the district for several years, including as Board President in 2017 when the bond to build our new high school was passed. His leadership was instrumental in making that vision a reality, and his legacy will live on in the halls of Winnsboro High School. We are deeply grateful for his dedication and service to our district.

On Friday night, a powerful moment took place at the Red Raiders’ varsity football game. The Winnsboro Red Raider Band joined together with the Redwater High School Band to perform America the Beautiful in honor of the victims of the September 11 tragedy.

It was a moving tribute that reminded us all of the strength, unity, and resilience of our nation. Thank you to both bands for coming together to honor and remember. 🇺🇸
