Winton Woods High School (Cincinnati)

The mission of Winton Woods High School is to create a culture where success is the only option. Our goal is to develop productive citizens who have the skills to choose the direction they want for their lives beyond high school. With this "end in mind," we work to provide educational opportunities that meet and support the varied needs of our students.

The staff of Winton Woods High School sets high expectations in both academic and career/technical studies. We offer College Preparatory, Honors, and Advanced Placement programs and work to incorporate hands-on, relevant projects and problems to help students make connections between school experiences and real-world applications. In addition, we provide virtual learning and intervention programs to support those students who need remediation and/or extra help. Many students also participate in our Fine Arts program, which is among the best in the area, and extracurricular activities, which provide enriching social interactions.

Winton Woods High School has a guidance program that works with students and parents to guarantee that every student is actively involved in the most appropriate program. Counselors meet with students regularly to provide guidance and support. They work with staff members to maintain communication with the home to ensure that parents stay abreast of students' progress. The College and Tranistion Program advisor works with the counselors to connect each student with a future beyond high school and to help new enrollees experience a smooth transition to our school. Henry Edwards wrote, "We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open." At Winton Woods High School, we not only want our students to dream of their future but also have the skills to find their place in it.
