The Golden Graduates of Winchester High School: 
A Small Indiana Town’s Remarkable Achievement

Golden Graduate Book Project

​

Golden Graduate Book #2 titled Golden Graduates of Winchester High School:  A Small Indiana Community’s Remarkable Achievement, will be available May 17, 2025.

 

You will be amazed at the 30 stories of this second group of Golden Graduates.

A feature of this book is that we are recognizing a Golden Graduate from each of the 5 rural school districts that consolidated to form present-day Winchester Community High School. 

 

You’ll love reading about Merrett Monks from Jefferson High School, Wendell Meredith Stanley from Ridgeville, Lowell Coggeshall from Saratoga, Leon Hesser from Lincoln, and Leon and Ruhama Hendrickson from McKinley.
