District Home

The Elcho School District is a PK-12 community school located at the start of Wisconsin's northwoods. We are located 25 minutes north of Antigo and 25 minutes south of Rhinelander on Highway 45. The Elcho area is a great location for enjoying all the northwoods has to offer, surrounded by lakes and public recreational areas tailored to both motorized and silent sports. We also have an on-site childcare center (Youngstar rated) that takes children ages six weeks through school age, and a morning 4K program. Our small class sizes and family-like environment make our District a wonderful and safe place to attend school.

Equal Educational Opportunities

The School District is committed and dedicated to the task of providing the best education possible for every child in the district for as long as the student can benefit from attendance and the student’s conduct is compatible with the welfare of the entire student body. 

The right of the student to be admitted to school and to participate fully in curricular, extra-curricular, student services, recreational or other programs or activities shall not be abridged or impaired because of a student’s sex, race, national origin, sexual orientation or physical, mental, emotional or learning disability. 

Career and Technical Education programs are available to students without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, creed, pregnancy, marital status, parental status, sexual orientation, sex, (including transgender status, change of sex or gender identity), or physical, mental, emotional, or learning disability ("Protected Classes"). The District Administrator is to ensure that application forms for work-study programs contain a notice of nondiscrimination and that each employer associated with a work-study program has provided assurance of nondiscrimination based on the Protected Classes prior to the time the students are selected and/or assigned.

Complaints regarding the interpretation or application of this policy shall be referred to the District Administrator and processed in accordance with established procedures. 

Notice of this policy and its accompanying complaint procedures shall be published at the beginning of each school year and posted in each school building in the district.  In addition, a student nondiscrimination statement shall be included on student and staff handbooks, course selection handbooks and other published materials distributed to the public describing school activities and opportunities.
