The Mosinee School District continues to thrive as one of the best school districts in Marathon County. We are big enough to offer amazing opportunities for all but small enough that we know your name. The Mosinee School District leads all districts in Marathon County with earned Dual Credit courses at Northcentral Technical College which saves Mosinee School District students and parents roughly $400,000 in college tuition they do not have to pay. Dual Credit courses count both as high school and college credit. In most cases the NTC Dual Credit courses also transfer to UW-System schools. Mosinee High School Juniors regularly test at or near the top of all county school districts on the ACT. The Mosinee School District as a whole exceeded expectations on the state report card while also being recognized in two out of three buildings for outstanding PBIS programs. The Mosinee School District continues to be a destination district with amazing staff and something for every student from AP courses to Dual Credit courses and a full range of sports, clubs and activities.
The pool, auditorium, FabLab, and fitness center continue to be open for our community to enjoy. The Mosinee School District is partnering with the Woodson YMCA through the Community Education Department to add additional opportunities for seniors 55+. Through this partnership the Mosinee School District and the Woodson YMCA offer a wide array of enjoyable educational, social and recreational opportunities designed to encourage a healthy, socially engaged lifestyle.
The School District is enhancing the STEAM program at the Mosinee Elementary School. STEAM education is an approach to teaching and learning that combines science, technology, engineering, the arts and math to guide student inquiry, discussion, and problem-solving. STEAM is an educational model that builds the creative problem-solving and critical thinking skills students will need in the 21st century workforce.
The Mosinee School District financial position remains strong with a fund balance in excess of 25% and over $4 million dollars of approved construction spending for a middle school remodel and cafeteria addition which has dramatically changed the physical facilities for Mosinee Middle School students and staff. The school district fully funds post employment health benefits in Fund 73 for our staff, has improved health insurance options for staff, and Federal Covid ESSER dollars are spent or are targeted to be spent in excess of $1,000,000 for staff, curriculum, and training.
The Mosinee School District continues to strive to ‘Expect the Best’ by being committed to:
- Improve student progress academically and socially preparing them to be productive members of a multicultural society.
- Promote partnerships with the community to create multiple opportunities for learning.
- Foster life-long learners who are self-motivated with adaptability for future change.
The Mosinee School District Strategic Plan focuses on: Student Opportunity and Achievement; Student and Staff Wellness; Workforce Retention and Development; Facilities and Fiscal Responsibility; and Community Connections. The five strategic planning pillars will remain the core work of the school board and superintendent.
It’s a great honor to serve as the Interim Superintendent of the Mosinee School District. Special thank you to the Mosinee School Board for their willingness to serve in a very public role to improve the lives of students throughout the school district. Please feel free to reach out to me at any time with your questions, concerns and/or suggestions.
Sincerely,
Robert Way
Interim Superintendent
Mosinee School District
