Welcome to Winskill Elementary School
Welcome to Winskill Elementary, where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential. At Winskill, we believe elementary school should be a place where students feel safe, supported, challenged, and excited to learn each day. We are proud to serve the children and families of the Lancaster community and are committed to providing an exceptional educational experience built on strong relationships, high expectations, and a genuine love for kids.
At Winskill, we strive to create high levels of learning in a welcoming, collaborative environment that nurtures personalized success for all Flying Arrows. That vision guides every decision we make. We believe students learn best when they feel connected to their teachers, classmates, and school community. We also believe that every child can succeed when provided with the right support, encouragement, and opportunities to grow.
Our students consistently perform at high levels academically, and Winskill has earned recognition as one of Wisconsin's highest-performing elementary schools. While we take pride in those accomplishments, what matters most to us is seeing students come to school each day with smiles on their faces, build meaningful relationships, develop confidence, and grow into kind, hardworking young people. Academic excellence and strong character go hand in hand.
Learning extends well beyond the classroom. From music, art, and physical education to leadership opportunities, field trips, family events, and other enriching experiences, we believe a well-rounded elementary education helps students discover their interests, develop important life skills, and create lasting memories. Whether students need additional support or greater academic challenges, our staff works together to meet individual needs and celebrate each child's unique strengths.
We also recognize that a child's success is built through a strong partnership between school, home, and community. Families are an essential part of everything we do, and we value open communication, mutual trust, and working together to help every student thrive.
As principal, it is truly a privilege to serve the students, families, and staff of Winskill Elementary. Our dedicated team is passionate about creating a school where students are excited to learn, families feel welcomed, and every child has the opportunity to succeed. Whether you are already part of the Flying Arrow family or considering Lancaster as your new home, we invite you to learn more about Winskill Elementary and experience what makes our school such a special place.
We look forward to welcoming you to Winskill.
Mr. Brad Sturmer
Winskill Elementary School Principal
