WINONA, Minn. —The new principal at Winona High School, Nahan Warneke, is a familiar face. He has been assistant principal three years. The School Board appointed Waneke to succeed Luke Madsen, who resigned for the principalship at Logan High School in La Crosse. As assistant principal at Winona High, Warneke said he has taken pride in developing a culture making students feel at home. “I became an educator because I wanted to have a part in shaping kids in becoming the people they will choose to be,” Warneke said. “I have always believed that students will remember us based on how we treated them in their best moments, their most challenging moments, and their most vulnerable moments, and that those reactions will in part shape who they become.” Warneke, who is 31, earlier taught in Lake City and the Zumbrota-Mazeppa district. His new salay: $133,300.
Warneke. Appointment effective July.
