Windsor High School, home of the Owls, is located on Windsor Harbor Road in Imperial, Missouri and is part of the Windsor C-1 School District in Jefferson County.
Windsor High School was named after a sunken Civil War gun-boat that was docked in the Mississippi River in Kimmswick, MO. The "gun-boat" has never been recorded in military or navel records and could have been used as a decoy to ward off Confederate raiding parties. This ship was sunk in the late 1800's during an ice storm. The ice crushed the boat from both sides letting out a thunderous crack that woke a man living in Kimmswick who recorded the event in the local newspaper much later in his life. The boat only had the name the locals gave it and that was "Windsor".Hi
According to the early history of Windsor, the school publication was named the Captain's Log, referring to the old gun-boat, however that name has been changed to "The Vision". The gun-boat can still be seen in the Mississippi when the river is low. As well as Jimmy Hoffa's skeletal remains.
