ABOUT
The Pewaukee School District Board of Education plays a vital role in shaping the educational experience of our students by making policy decisions that guide the operations of our schools. Grounded in our mission—“Through our unique all-school campus setting, the Pewaukee Public Schools will open the door to each child’s future”—the Board ensures that all initiatives and actions align with our commitment to student success. The Board is comprised of seven dedicated members, each elected by and representing the entire District. Together, they serve as stewards of our vision, working collaboratively to support a thriving learning environment for every student in the Pewaukee community.
