Welcome

Hi, I'm Terry Whitmore, District Administrator for the School District of Nekoosa. Thanks for taking the time to peruse our website to learn more about the services the District provides to Nekoosa and the surrounding communities.

I feel very privileged to help lead a District where the students, staff, parents, and community are working hard to prepare students to meet the needs of a changing world filled with challenges and at the same time opportunities to be "difference makers." Our community has inspiring students, outstanding educators and support staff, and a community at large that supports education. All of these attributes work together to make our schools successful.

In order to maximize its efforts, the School District of Nekoosa Board of Education uses a method of school district governance known as Policy Governance. Under Policy Governance, the School Board’s central job is to set specific goals, known as Results, and to ensure that these goals are met.  Below are the "results" that the District continues to work on each and every day to help each student realize their own potential.

1.  Overarching Results

Nekoosa School District develops students who excel academically, act responsibly, display good character and citizenship, and reason and solve problems rationally.  We focus on preparing our students with the skills they will need in today’s global community.

2.  Academic Performance and Application

All students, regardless of their race, gender, disability and/or socioeconomic status, will be literate in reading, language arts, and math.  All students will be able to integrate and apply the knowledge, skills, attitudes and competencies acquired across all academic disciplines.

3.  Self-Directed Thinkers

All students are creative, self-directed thinkers prepared for and able to adapt to a changing world.

4.  Collaborative and Responsible Citizens

All students are productive and collaborative contributors in the workplace and in society.  

If you have questions/comments, or would like to meet to discuss ideas you might have toward meeting the above "results" goals, please contact me at 715-886-8000.

Community

The School District of Nekoosa is made up of families from the townships of Armenia, Port Edwards, Rome, Saratoga, as well as the city of Nekoosa. Located in Central Wisconsin next to the Wisconsin River, the City of Nekoosa has a population of nearly 2,700 residents. The Lakes area in Armenia, as well as the town of Rome, continues to attract new residents looking for the tranquility and recreational opportunities that water-front property and country life bring. The large area our district covers provides us with a diverse population.

Economically, Nekoosa is known for its paper industry and is in the process of becoming more diversified. A new industrial park in the town of Rome has already attracted new businesses and the Ho Chunk Nation continues to be an important part of our economic strength.
