November 3rd Facilities Referendum

What could the proposed plan mean for Sheboygan Falls High School?

The renovation and addition would focus on creating updated learning environments, expanding career opportunities and addressing important building and infrastructure needs.

Key focus areas include:
* Expanded Career and Technical Education (CTE) spaces
* Updated science and instructional spaces
* Enhanced student support and special education services
* Student collaboration and career readiness
* Safety, accessibility and traffic improvements

The goal is to provide students with the spaces, resources and opportunities they need to learn, collaborate and prepare for their futures.
