Winona-Montgomery Consolidated School District

The Winona-Montgomery Consolidated School District (WMCSD), formerly the Winona Separate School District, is a public school district based in Winona, Mississippi, United States. It currently serves all of Montgomery County.[1]

Effective July 1, 2018 the Winona and Montgomery County School District were consolidated into the Winona-Montgomery Consolidated School District.[2] The consolidation was mandated by the Mississippi state government.[3] In 2018 the Montgomery School District attempted to get a restraining order to stop the consolidation.[4] The current district was formed in 2018.

The Winona Separate School District served almost all of Winona and some unincorporated areas to the southwest.[5]
