Wenonah High School

Because of a power outage affecting our school this morning, we will be closing today, September 30, at 9:30 a.m. This is necessary for the health and safety of our students and employees. Buses will transport all riders back to their original stops. All school activities will resume as usual on tomorrow, Oct. 1, 2024.

Wenonah High School honored former Dragon, Crimson Tide, and NFL great -- and now head coach of the Miles College Golden Bears -- Sam Shade with a jersey dedication ceremony prior to its game against Huffman. Shade reminded the crowd that this isn't a number retirement, because he still likes seeing #4 on the field for the Dragons! #SuccessStartsHere
