Winston Churchill High School in San Antonio, Texas is part of the North East Independent School District. It is named after Sir Winston Churchill, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The school serves portions of the city of San Antonio along with the towns of Hill Country Village and Hollywood Park.[2]
Churchill first opened for classes in 1966, funded by a 1960 school district bond that also established Roosevelt High School and the Blossom Athletic Center.[3][4]
The school mascot is the Charger while the British Union Flag and lion are used as additional symbols. The school was referenced in the 1996 movie Lone Star.
For the 2021-2022 school year, the school was given a "B" by the Texas Education Agency, with distinctions for Academic Achievement in ELA/Reading, Science, Mathematics, and Social Studies.[5] Churchill has been twice named a National Blue Ribbon School, in 1982-83 and again in 1999-2000.[6] In 2012, Churchill was ranked 8th on Children at Risk's Top 10 High Schools in Greater San Antonio.
