Kewaskum High School

The mission of Kewaskum High School is to inspire students to become empathetic, hardworking, service-minded young adults who will be positioned to excel beyond high school.

The vision of Kewaskum High School is to become the model high school for job-force driven programming and universal graduate success.

Dear High School Families,

During this holiday season, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the incredible support and dedication of our students, parents, and the wider school community. It is a privilege to serve as your principal, and I am grateful for the partnership we share in supporting our students' success.

Recently, we held a series of ACT-focused meetings with our students. During these sessions, we emphasized the importance of the ACT as a critical tool for college readiness and future opportunities. We also reviewed students' practice ACT results, helping them identify their strengths and areas for improvement. These conversations have been invaluable in setting goals and building confidence as they prepare for the official test.

During the holiday break, I hope our students take full advantage of this time to recharge and enjoy well-deserved rest. Whether spending time with family and friends, pursuing hobbies, or simply relaxing, these moments are essential for their well-being and growth.

From my family to yours, I'd like to wish you a wonderful and joyful holiday break.

Sincerely,

Kevin Bryant

High School Principal

Inclement Weather Process

Kewaskum High School is committed to fostering academic achievement and success for all our students. A crucial factor in this success is regular school attendance. Consistent attendance not only enhances academic performance but also supports overall student growth.

We encourage all students to be on time and present every day. Please review pages 3-5 of the student handbook for important information about attendance policies, including details on excused and unexcused absences. We understand that students may need to miss school for various reasons. If your student will be absent, please call the attendance line at (262) 626-3105 to notify us by 8:00 AM.

Your cooperation in ensuring timely attendance helps us support your student’s educational journey effectively. Thank you for your partnership!
