The WHS Boosters are committed to spreading the word to ensure the voters of Windham have accurate information. The first step was a warrant article that asked voters to approve $54,000 to create a plan for the proposed site. This will enable the school district to source bids outlining exactly how much a track will cost. The School Board fully supports this warrant article. The article passed in March.
Support a track for our community!
Please join the WHS Boosters for a track at Windham High School. WHS is the only Division I or Division II school in New Hampshire without a track or without access to one in their town. We are proposing a track be built at the high school. What we “need” and what we “want” may be different for various stakeholders, but we’ve decided to focus on what we need. The overwhelming need is simply to get a functioning track for students and our community. The gap between need and want is what has derailed past efforts to get this done and finally ensure the safety of our athletes and their basic ability to compete. Our proposal is to build a track, a facility to store equipment, and a grass field in the middle for field events, that’s it. A relatively small investment in a facility like this will provide a huge boost for our student athletes and the larger community!Watch our informational session here:

Track updates
June 10, 2025 update
At the meeting with Tighe & Bond on June 5, 2025, the following was discussed. The
cut/fill analysis has been completed. They are continuing work on the wet land analysis
and those results are expected this month. We will be meeting again in July. The plan
is on schedule to be delivered to the School District in July for any changes or edits.
The final plan is on schedule to be sent out for bids in August.
May 7, 2025 update
Thank you for visiting our website for our most recent updates! Work continues to
happen behind the scenes and it is our mission to keep the Community informed.
Tighe & Bond has completed the assessment of the wetlands. The good news is the
wetlands haven’t gotten bigger since our last assessment. They are currently assessing
the vernal pools. Next will be the groundwork to determine whether we build up from
the significant amount of ledge found on the site or if we consider blasting.
Tighe & Bond expects to have the plan done by July 2025 which will then be put out to
bid to three different contractors. We expect those bids to be submitted back to the
School District by the beginning of September. This means we will have the amount it
will cost to construct the track.
After that amount is determined, the Boosters along with the Athletic Director and the
School Board will assess the best ways to fund. We will be looking for Corporate
sponsors, Public and Private Grants, Community Contributions, and/or taxpayer
approval if necessary. Once we know more about how much it will cost, we can tailor
our funding plan.
