It is just minutes from Madison and close to both Chicago and Milwaukee. The city is known for its historic downtown, quality schools, outstanding parks, and safe neighborhoods. It provides an excellent blend of affordability and high quality of life for its residents. The community supports education, passing twelve building referendums in the past ten years. Most recently, we passed a two-part r
eferendum, which included a capital referendum of $164 million and an operational referendum of $5 million annually. Funding was used to build a second high school, reconfigure Central Heights Middle School, relocate Prairie Phoenix Academy, create a new multi-purpose stadium, fund construction and capital mainteance projects, increase teacher salaries, and fund annual operating expenses associated with our new high school.
