Winfield High School (WHS), previously Winfield Junior-Senior High School,[1] is a senior high school in Winfield, Kansas. It is a part of Winfield Unified School District 465.
The school first opened prior to the start of the 20th Century in the former Central School, which received an addition in 1880. A new building, with three stories,[2] and having an auditorium and gymnasium,[1] opened in 1910; this facility, made of brick, was colored red.[2] The new building began hosting assemblies of area schools and allowed for increased programming.[1]
In 1911 the school newspaper, The Oracle, debuted.[1] A bond proposal for an addition known as a "manual high school" building passed in 1916. In 1951 an industrial arts building opened to the west of the 1910 facility. In 1971 a new facility opened.[1]
