Athletics
New Windsor High School offered many sports during its existence. The only record of success on
the IHSA web site (www.ihsa.org) is in Boy's Basketball. It is probable New Windsor also offered football, baseball, and track, however further
information and verification is needed from an alumni of the school or a townsperson. The boy's basketball success is
listed below.
