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 Kewaskum Families,

I hope this message finds you well! As we wrap up the first month of the school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible experiences we've had together.

Our students have jumped back into their routines with enthusiasm and energy. It’s been heartening to see them engage in their classes, participate in extracurricular activities, and build friendships. I’m particularly proud of the collaboration among students, teachers, and staff, which has created a positive and supportive learning environment.

Thank you for your continued support and involvement. Your partnership is invaluable as we work together to provide the best possible education for our students. I encourage you to stay engaged—attend upcoming events, check in with your child about their experiences, and communicate with our staff.

Let’s keep this momentum going! Together, we can make this school year one of growth, discovery, and achievement.

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!

We’d like to take a moment to remind everyone about Kewaskum High School's cell phone policy. All cell phones should be turned off and stored in lockers from 7:30 AM to 2:45 PM. Students may check their phones at their lockers during passing periods, but phone use is not permitted during lunch.

By limiting cell phone usage during school hours, we aim to create a more focused and productive learning environment. We appreciate you supporting this policy. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out.

Thank you for your cooperation.
