News & Announcements

When our community voted “yes” in November 2024, you invested in more than buildings. You invested in our students, our staff, and the future of WAWM.

Every minute matters. Every student belongs. Every day counts.

Referendum-funded construction is progressing on schedule across the district, with major visible milestones at the new West Allis Central Fieldhouse, set for a soft opening on November 26 and a grand opening in January. Upcoming 2026 projects are already in planning, including bathroom renovations, HVAC upgrades, and safety and accessibility improvements at multiple schools. The district remains committed to enhancing learning environments through community support and strategic investment.

The West Allis–West Milwaukee School District has officially approved its new five-year Strategic Plan, reinforcing a student-centered vision for the future. Progress continues on referendum-funded construction projects, including the nearing completion of the West Allis Central Fieldhouse. This month also featured the 3rd Annual Retiree Breakfast and the launch of the Voice Student Advisory Group, fostering connection and student voice as the school year continues with strong momentum.

Nathan Hale High School hosted over 1,000 students for the annual WATDA Transportation Career Showcase, where students explored hands-on career opportunities in the automotive and transportation industries. The event highlighted the impact of Career and Technical Education in connecting students with real-world professionals and pathways to future success.

Every school day is an opportunity to learn, connect, and grow. This September, during Attendance Awareness Month, we are reminding our students, families, and the community that showing up matters and every day counts!

From new flooring at Central’s Fieldhouse to HVAC and roofing updates across our schools, construction crews and staff have been hard at work this month. Thanks to our community’s support, major milestones are being met and planning is already underway for future projects.

As we prepare to welcome students back, WAWM has been busy with leadership development, facility upgrades and planning for the launch of our new Strategic Plan. Read more about upcoming community events and exciting plans for the 2025-26 school year.
