Locally, Winston Churchill High School is often referred to by one of two aforementioned abridged titles. Individuals without a connection to the school are known to refer to it simply as Winston. This is in contrast with individuals that have dealt more closely with the school, who predominantly refer to it as Churchill.

Beginning in the 2003-2004 school year, Grade 9 students began attending the school, in accordance with a nearly province-wide grade reconfiguration that saw "middle" school become grades 6-8, and "high school" redefined as grades 9-12. The school offers several specialty programs, including the internationally recognized International Baccalaureate program.

International Baccalaureate

The International Baccalaureate program is locally similar to the Advanced Placement Program, which is offered at L.C.I. Courses offered include Social Studies, Mathematics, French, Spanish, Biology, Chemistry, and Music.
