The West Bend School District is planning on holding community meetings in order to discuss what's best for their high school students—now and in the future. They are looking for the community's input.

Since 1970, their community has been home to East and West High Schools on a shared campus, currently serving 1,818 students. Enrollment projections show their student population may decline to around 1,500 by 2029-2030, and possibly 1,200 by 2037-2038, according to a press release. 

The West Bend School District is looking for various perspectives on whether the school district has one or two high schools in the future. Here's how you can share your thoughts:

• Community meetings will be held on:

  • Monday, February 2, 2026 at 6 p.m.

  • Wednesday, February 11, 2026 at 6 p.m.

• Both meetings are in the West High School cafeteria. Enter the building on the west side in the fieldhouse doors. 

• Attend a focus group by invitation. Focus groups will be utilized for students at the High Schools as well as Badger.

• Complete an online survey that will be released on February 2, by emails, social media, and district and school newsletters.
