School District of Wild Rose to Unveil Middle/High School Spaces Completed through the 2022 Referendum

The School District of Wild Rose is excited to host a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house to celebrate the completion of its April 2022 referendum projects. The event will be held on September 13, 2024, at 5:00 PM at Wild Rose Middle/High School, located at 600 Park Avenue, Wild Rose, WI, with the High School home football game against Tri-County School District to follow at 7:00 PM.

This event will celebrate the completion of both of the district’s community-supported capital referendum questions, totaling $17,900,000, which were approved by the Wild Rose community on April 5, 2022. The generous support of District residents allowed Wild Rose to invest in projects identified as the most important educational needs: improving safety, security, and accessibility; updating infrastructure (including adding air conditioning at the MS/HS); and improving outdated educational spaces.

The comprehensive building project impacted all students at both school buildings. Projects at the elementary school, including a classroom and flex space addition, a renovated and relocated secure main entrance, and renovation of the office into a learning lab, were completed for the 2023-2024 school year.

The District is thrilled to invite the entire community to join in celebrating the completion of the Middle/High school projects, which include:

  • Relocation of Middle/High School office to create a secure entrance

  • Renovation of the District Office to create a secure entrance

  • Renovation of Middle/High school office space into classrooms

  • Renovation of outdated Tech Ed (Shop)/ Family and Consumer Science (Home Economics) areas to provide hands-on learning opportunities

  • Renovation of Art and 6th-grade science areas

  • Renovation of High School Chemistry and Physics Lab

  • Site work and resurfacing of the South parking lot

  • ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) improvements to restrooms and locker rooms

  • Replacement of flooring, roof sections, and ceilings where needed

  • Installation of an emergency generator and replacement of fire alarm

  • Replacement of baseball and softball backstops

  • Resurfacing of the track

  • HVAC work, including building-wide air conditioning

Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony at 5:00 PM, the district invites attendees to explore the spaces that have been impacted by the 2022 referendum. This informal gathering will provide an excellent opportunity to celebrate the district’s achievements and connect with fellow residents. Then, join Wild Rose in supporting the high school football team at their home game against Tri-County, which kicks off at 7:00 PM.

“Thank you to everyone who supported these projects. The two community-supported referendum projects have allowed the District to address our most important educational needs, and are key to our continued success. We’re excited to celebrate with you and share the improvements we’ve made together,” shared District Administrator Craig Hayes.

The School District of Wild Rose hopes residents, staff, and students will join them to celebrate the success of the community's investment in education!
