Welcome from the District Administrator
Our Roots Run Deep - Our Branches Stretch Far
On behalf of the faculty, staff, and school board, it is with great pride and enthusiasm that I welcome you to the School District of Oakfield. This school district has a rich history and tradition of achieving at a high level. I would like to highlight some items that really help “tell the story” of who we are:
- First and foremost, the Department of Public Instruction rated the School District of Oakfield as ‘Significantly Exceeds Expectations’ on the recent report card that compares school districts in the State of Wisconsin. As a matter of fact, the School District of Oakfield was rated in the top 8% of the the 368 4k-12th grade school districts in the State! Oakfield Elementary School was rated 3rd which puts it in the top 1% of elementary schools in the state.
- Oakfield Elementary School has received the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Title 1 School of Recognition Award for four consecutive years (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018).
- The Arts are alive in Oakfield with many students going to State in Solo and Ensemble, creative art displays around our buildings, and the return of a Theater program that performed the musical Annie Jr. this past Fall.
- The District has strong technology for both students and staff use. This includes a one-to-one ratio of mobile devices for students and SMART Boards in every classroom.
- The Middle School/High School building has a Fitness Center that has a variety of machines, including cardio stations and free weights. The community can also use these facilities. The equipment in the Center was purchased through a PEP grant years ago.
- The High School offers eight Advanced Placement courses.
- The athletic program is extensive, offering eleven different sports as an Oakfield sport or through a cooperative program. The Oakfield teams have several conference championships and state championships. The football team was undefeated this year (2017), and the Soccer team were conference champs.
- We offer a strong K-12 fine arts program including choir, band, theater, digital and visual arts.
- We offer several elective programs including Computer Science (in 2017-18), Spanish, Art, Music, Business Education, Technology Education, and Agriculture.
- We are proud of the small school, family-like atmosphere with low class sizes for more one-on-one student attention.
- We have good facilities that are receiving major updates each year.
- A very talented faculty and staff facilitate learning for the students, many of whom have won awards for their teaching.
- We are thankful for a very supportive community that passed an operational referendum in 2014.
In my role as District Administrator, I prioritize keeping a visible presence in the schools and community. I enjoy that aspect of my job very much. I would encourage you to stop and say hello or contact me. Also, I would encourage you to visit our schools or contact any staff member for more information. I am certain that you will be impressed with our students, staff, and educational opportunities. Keep your eye on Oakfield, we are on our way to becoming the best small school district in Wisconsin.
With Pride and Respect,
