The high school’s current rear lobby and concessions area limits our ability to host school and community events, due to lack of space.
The proposed expansion will more than double the current space while providing secured entry for students and community members to access events and fitness areas.
Remember to vote on Tuesday, April 2.

The high school’s current physical education fitness areas are a repurposed classroom and the former wrestling room. They lack space and are located down a hallway from each other leading to safety and supervision challenges.
The proposed plan will remodel and expand the health & physical education/weight room and lobby to meet our program needs while also providing a resource to the community.

International Trip Spring Break 2026
Buen Viaje! The International Club will be traveling to Costa Rica and Panama over Spring Break of 2026. The trip will focus on learning about a new culture, practicing Spanish (not required, but encouraged!), and learning about the history and way of life in a new place, as well as lots of fun adventures.
If you have a student who would be interested in being a part of this adventure, there will be an informational meeting for students and parents on March 25th at 5:30 pm in the HS IMC. (There may be spots available for parents to join us on the trip, depending on the number of enrollees, as the trip is limited in size.)
At the meeting, we will review the basic itinerary, what to expect, and costs. We will also hear briefly from past trip participants.
If you have any questions, please email Anne Pechacek at pechaceka@ellsworth.k12.wi.us.
