Where Community and Culture Come Together!

Winton Community,

Welcome to the 2025/26 school year!

At Winton Middle School, we take great pride in being more than just a school—we are a vibrant, diverse, and supportive community where students are encouraged to dream big, think boldly, and lead with heart. This year, we continue our commitment to creating a safe, engaging, and academically rigorous environment where every student can grow as a learner and as a person. We believe success comes from strong relationships, shared responsibility, and a culture of high expectations. Whether in the classroom, on stage, on the field, or through student leadership, we want every Wildcat to feel seen, heard, and empowered to succeed. As we work together—families, staff, and students—we build a place where everyone belongs and every voice matters.

This year, we are excited to deepen our focus on critical thinking, creativity, wellness, and real-world learning. Our teachers are committed to providing learning experiences that are meaningful and challenging, and our students continue to impress us with their curiosity, resilience, and drive. We know learning doesn’t happen in isolation—it thrives in partnership. We encourage our families to stay connected and involved throughout the year. Whether it’s through school events, parent groups, or simply reaching out, your support makes all the difference.

As we step into this new year, let’s continue to lead with kindness, aim high, and support one another. I am incredibly proud to serve as your principal and can’t wait to see all that we will accomplish together.

Please feel free to reach out anytime—my door is always open.

With appreciation,
Lisa Tess
