The Judge

Handley Watches (Jay Carpenter: Handley Class of 2002) in collaboration with Bell’s Fine Clothing (Shendows: Handley Classes of 1956, 1979, and 1982) have designed a commemorative watch to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Handley High School.

$100 of each watch purchased at full-price ($275) will be donated to the Handley 100th Celebration.

Eugene’s B. Smith's 2023 painting of John Handley High School is his third rendering of Winchester’s beloved high school from which his and his wife Sarah’s two children, Kayla and Brennan, both graduated. Previous renditions of Handley featured a landscape perspective from the school’s vast campus as well as an architectural focus of the school’s iconic cupola. This new painting, an architectural rendering of the school’s stately façade, features the beauty of the school’s campus in springtime.
