The Winslow Eskimos from Winslow High School,
Winslow, Indiana have been around since 1911 and were in existence
until end of school year 1974. Beginning school year 1975 Winslow was
consolidated along with all the other high schools in Pike County, Indiana into
Pike Central High School. Pike Central is located 4 miles
north of Winslow, Indiana. Many former Winslow Eskimo
children, grand-children, etc now attend Pike Central. There
also is a Winslow Elementary School still in Winslow and a feeder school
for Pike Central. |
| Your help has made www.jddedman.com
one of the most popular basketball information websites on the Winslow
Eskimos on the internet. Your loyalty means a lot. This Official Winslow
Eskimo website shall always be dedicated to the Alumni of Winslow High
School, their basketball players, cheerleaders, coaches, teachers, and
friends who helped make little small Winslow a big name in Indiana High
School basketball for many
years. |
