While they want your kids to do good in the classroom, Kewaunee School District is making sure they do just as well away from it.

Kewaunee Superintendent Scott Fritz was able to hire the district’s first school counselor last year, and it expanded its partnership with Bellin Health to offer services to assist with the students'' social and emotional well-being as well as athletic training. The district could also see nearly 40 percent of its student body get real-life work experience before graduation through the Ahnapee Youth Apprenticeship Program. Fritz says there have been a lot of changes in education during his 30-plus-year career, and a lot of it is taking place outside of their walls.

Entering his second year as the superintendent of Kewaunee School District, Fritz is excited to welcome back students and staff in the coming weeks. He is looking forward to once again having individual conversations with the high school’s graduating seniors to get a pulse of how things are going.
