Our Story
In 1966, Winston Churchill High School opened its doors for the first time. A lot has happened in those years: State Championships in many sports, State and National awards in the arts and education. Many of the alumni have entered a world of increasing technology and change and have used their experiences at WC to innovate, to improve, to build a culture of excellence. From Oct 27-29, 2016, Churchill will celebrate its history and is calling all Chargers, parents, families and friends, to come join us for a 3-day celebration with food, music, and connections. Feel free to add your comments, your pictures, your videos... this is our page... this is our time to celebrate!
