About Whitnall School District
Whitnall is a district on the rise. With strong community backing, as shown by our recently approved referendum, we are entering an exciting phase of facility enhancements, learning environment upgrades, and programmatic improvements. Much of this work began this past spring, setting the stage for a transformed school experience in the years ahead.
Additionally, Whitnall has launched a new strategic plan that provides clear priorities for student learning, instruction, culture, engagement, and operational excellence. Whitnall is a unique school district that is proud to serve approximately 2,500 students in the Village of Hales Corners, part of the City of Greenfield, and part of the City of Franklin.
