Welcome to Wenonians Inc
Once a Wenonian always a Wenonian…the message is simple.
Once you start at Wenona, you become a Wenonian forever, a tradition that will live on.
Students at school see each other day in day out but once they leave the constancy of school and venture into the real world, they will lose touch with many of their Wenona contemporaries. We hope that our new web site will not only enable past students to stay in touch anywhere in the world but also provide the benefit of a diverse network of professional Wenonians and increase our presence and value within Wenona today through our developing mentoring program.
We hope you enjoy this wonderful way to preserve the Wenonian spirit.
