The home of the state's first diesel truck repair program and several other hands-on learning programs continues to make plans for the future with the area's employment needs in mind. Luxemburg-Casco School District, along with Kewaunee and Denmark schools, are looking to establish a program to cultivate the next generation of volunteer and professional firefighters. Collaborations between schools, businesses, and other community leaders are part of why Luxemburg-Casco School Superintendent Jo-Ellen Fairbanks says she has enjoyed her first few months on the job.

Fairbanks says they are not stopping there. The district continues to plan for its facility for the construction trades. She also mentioned that they will host a summit later this year with area farmers about some of the other opportunities that are available in agriculture.
