Background: Each month, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors recognizes an outstanding school, student, staff member, parent, or community member for a display of excellence, achievement, and innovation that may serve as an example to our school district and the entire Milwaukee community.

This month, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors is pleased to posthumously present the “Excellence in Education Award” to:

Sally Ann Winter

Ms. Sally Ann Winter is an excellent example of an individual who truly exemplified being MPS Proud! Ms. Winter devoted 33 years of dedicated service to Milwaukee Public Schools as an English teacher, spending her entire career at and retiring from Juneau High School. She valued her MPS family throughout her life, especially the close-knit group of faculty at Juneau High School and her former students.

Sally loved all types of literature, as well as theater, art, television and film. This allowed her to draw from a variety of sources to engage her students and determine their areas of interest. Her love of travel and ability to integrate current events into lessons served to enhance her teaching and spark her students’ interest. Her success as a teacher was in large part a result of her ability to recognize the interests and nurture the talents of her students.

Sally Ann Winter was a product of MPS, and graduated from Custer High School as the Valedictorian. After high school, she went on to college, and earned a master’s degree in education.

Ms. Winter was an integral member of the Juneau staff, and had many involvements and responsibilities beyond her regular teaching duties. She served as department chair, yearbook advisor, and advisor to the prom committee for two decades.

Sally Ann Winter was beloved by her MPS family to include students, fellow staff members, families and members of the community. She was hardworking and considerate of her colleagues, possessed a wonderful sense of humor, and was an excellent conversationalist.

The Milwaukee Board of School Directors posthumously recognize and honor Sally Ann Winter, for her dedication, outstanding leadership, and commitment to excellence on behalf of the students of the Milwaukee Public Schools.
