SCHOOL HISTORY ☆ The first school classes in Winnebago were held in the old Methodist Church building in 1858. Later in 1858, a red frame school was built at a cost of $1,325. This building in later years was used as a blacksmith shop and stood on the lot south of the present post office. In 1868 a two-story brick school was built. This 40x60 school stood until it was torn down in 1925 to make room for the present one. In 1925 the present school was completed, costing over seventy thousand dollars. Since then two more rooms have been built and also a workshop for the agricultural students. When the new school was planned, two country districts, the Smith and Greenlee schools, were included in the consolidation. A two-year high school had been maintained for several years, and so there had been no graduating classes from 1918 until 1926. High school students de- siring to graduate went to Rockford high school. The first bus was bought in 1923 and in the 1930's four buses were operated. The school had a large enrollment because many Lincoln Park students came here. George Meyers, who drove a bus for the area south of town, now drives the one bus operated by the school for the forty-eight students living in the dis- trict. Mr. Meyers, who is also a janitor at the school, has driven school buses for twenty-one years and has covered about 300,000 miles. Orville Stotler, our new janitor, drives the station wagon, which has been owned by the school for the last two years. It brings the students from Seward and from the northern part of the district. Since 1925 we have had five principals, Messrs. M. D. Thompson, Earl H. Dugan, John T. Redenius, C. E. Hepfer and O. L. Haile, the present one.
