Winchester Community High School recognizes Mr. Brian Clawson as the 2019-2020 Teacher of the Year. Mr. Clawson has gone above and beyond to bring a quality industrial technology program to WCHS. He was nominated by his teaching peers as an example of someone who is a proficient teacher, dedicated to his students’ success, and a tireless leader among the faculty.
Mr. Clawson has devoted many hours to developing the Larry E. Fast Advanced Manufacturing Center into a teaching facility second to none. He is working alongside his colleagues in the agriculture and welding programs to create an amazing trades-based learning experience for WCHS students.
Working with the community and developing relationships with business and industry has been at the forefront of what Mr. Clawson has done to make his program successful. He is developing an industry network that will not only help Falcon Industries but will also help students as they graduate and begin looking for positions in the manufacturing world.
Mr. Clawson makes connections with students and helps to develop them into quality people. The relationships he develops outlast the 4 years that a student is in high school. He also has dedicated many hours outside of the school day to coach football and golf which has allowed him to influence even more students.
Congratulations to Mr. Brian Clawson for being named the 2019-2020 Teacher of the Year!

WCHS Staff: To finish up Staff Appreciation Week we have one of our seniors, Ara Cowper, saying what so many students feel! Thank you for being awesome and keep up the good work!
Seniors: We have had questions about why each senior will only be allowed 4 guests at graduation. We are adhering to the Phase 5 guidelines for crowds over 250 setup by the CDC. We are thankful for the opportunity to host a ceremony and will follow the guidelines provided. Have a good weekend!
Assuming Indiana is at a Phase 5 by July 4, WCHS will allow athletics, band, and other school activities to be at the school building after Monday, July 6. The original IHSAA Moratorium will be followed for all athletic teams. We look forward to welcoming students back to WCHS!
Winchester Community High School has made the tough decision based on advice from state and local health departments to cancel prom this year. With social distancing in effect indefinitely, hosting an event such as a prom is not possible.
