Wow! The community supports our students in so many ways.

In total, the amount of local scholarships reached more than $900,000.
The local COLUMNS organization awarded numerous scholarships of its own and it also administers a large number of local scholarships for post-secondary education at four-year and two-year colleges, universities, and technical schools.

All students in grades K-12 (in person and virtual through West Bend Virtual Academy) receive a district-owned Chromebook for student use during the school year. Even if the family has its own laptop, we ask that you get the Chromebook for the student as they will use it while in the school (with in person instruction) and it will be used for testing and assessment.
