The Sheboygan Area School District (SASD) has a long history of being fiscally responsible and has taken excellent care of our school facilities. However, Farnsworth and Urban Middle Schools were built in the 1930s and are in need of extensive repairs and/or upgrades.
Over the last several years, much work has been done to evaluate the needs of these buildings. A Citizens Facility Advisory Committee was convened in 2021, and in 2022, this group made a recommendation to the Board of Education to rebuild both middle schools. A new Farnsworth would be built on the south side of the current campus. Due to space constraints at the current Urban campus, it was recommended to rebuild Urban at a new location. The potential location is near Mill and Najacht Roads.
Bray Architects presented an updated overview of the potential referendum projects and timeline. View the full presentation here.
Two open community meetings to learn more will be held on:
All SASD residents will receive more information about the potential projects as well as a survey to share feedback in late spring. Based on the survey results, the Board of Education will determine the best plan of action for a potential referendum in the fall of 2024. Click here to learn more about the referendum.
The Sheboygan Area School District is committed to delivering exceptional educational experiences and fostering a safe and welcoming learning environment for all students. The district strives to offer these services at a reasonable cost to taxpayers. Learn more about the SASD's budget here.
Amber Miller, a teacher at North High School, is an SASD Difference Maker!
“Ms. Miller always has a positive attitude. Earlier this year, she took over as the advisor for Educators Rising, a club I am very involved in. She has been so lenient and adapting as the year goes on. Every time I enter her room I have a smile on my face because Ms. Miller’s room is comforting, and she puts her student's needs first. Everyone needs a Ms. Miller.” -Brooke Hess, North High School student
