Welcome Back, Brown County Schools! 🦅
Welcome Back, Brown County Schools! 🦅 The excitement is building, and we can't wait to welcome our students back on Wednesday, August 5, for the first day of the 2026–2027 school year! Our buildings have been busy all summer preparing for an outstanding year of learning. In addition to cleaning, organizing, and setting up classrooms, we've made important investments in our facilities to create even better learning environments for students. This summer, significant HVAC improvements were completed at Van Buren Elementary School, as well as in the science wing and gymnasium at Brown County High School, helping ensure our students and staff learn in comfortable, modern spaces. Most importantly, our teachers and staff have been preparing for what matters most -- our students. We are excited to welcome new team members who are ready to build relationships, inspire learning, and help every child feel known, valued, and supported. Together, we look forward to another year of creating World-Class Opportunities, Small School Relationships, and Lifelong Impact. Elementary Open Houses Families of elementary students are invited to join us on Monday, August 3, at 5:00 p.m. at Helmsburg Elementary, Sprunica Elementary, and Van Buren Elementary.
