Windsor High School (Imperial, Missouri)
Windsor High School is a public high school in Imperial, Missouri, and is part of the Windsor C-1 School District.
Windsor High School was named after a sunken Civil War gunboat that was docked in the Mississippi River in Kimmswick, Missouri. This boat was never recorded in military or naval records and could have been used as a decoy to ward off Confederate raiding parties. This ship was sunk in the late 19th century 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, "Windsor".
According to the early history of Windsor, the school publication was named the Captain's Log, referring to the old gunboat; however, this name has since been changed to "The Vision".
The gunboat can still be seen in the Mississippi when the river is low.
