Home of the Eagles
The Winston School athletic programs are designed to encourage students to explore a wide range of sports while exposing them to fitness, teamwork, and healthy living. Whether a student is an avid athlete or new to team sports, we develop our student athletes in a safe and positive environment.
Our Athletic Philosophy
We have a no-cut policy for our athletic department. Instead, we emphasize commitment and participation as the foundations upon which athletic and personal success are achieved. If a Winston student wants to play for our school, they will get to play as long as they show commitment and good citizenship.
