Congratulations to John Muir Middle School Principal Dr. Patrick Galligan for earning his Educational Doctorate from Edgewood College in Madison!

Congratulations to West High Publication Lab for receiving first place in Yearbook from the 2021 Northeastern Wisconsin Scholastic Press Association.

Foster, who's currently a special education teacher at Wausau West, is the perfect fit for the job.  In addition to his experiences in the classroom, he's probably best known for being the head Wausau West football coach for the last 6 years.  Just last fall, he was named Coach of the Year by the Valley Football Association. 

Starting with the beginning of the 2022-2023 school year, three of our schools will have new principals. 

Jay O. Rothman, a 1978 graduate of Wausau West High School, is the 2022 Wausau School District Hall of Fame recipient.  Mr. Rothman is the incoming University of Wisconsin System president, taking over the role on June 1, 2022. 

This banquet recognizes the top students from each Marathon County high school.  In addition, each student recognized at the event also gets to invite an educator they would like to honor.

We are pleased to announce that Laura Simonson will take over as Maine Elementary School's next principal on July 1, 2022.  She will replace Marie Northup, who is retiring at the end of this school year. 

Bushman, the current principal at Wausau East High School, has an extensive background in education that spans more than 20 years; most of which have been spent in the Wausau School District.  As head principal at Wausau East, associate principal of Pupil Services at Wausau West, experience as a Special Education teacher and a coach, Bushman is the perfect fit for the job.
