District Working with Hoffman on $51.2 Million Referendum Project.

(Appleton, Wis) – Community members, school district representatives, and students attended a groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, for the Shawano School District to celebrate the start of improvements to Shawano Community High School.

The ceremony featured remarks from Superintendent Kurt Krizan, School Board President Tim Renard, and Hoffman’s K-12 Market Leader Jody Andres. Students from the Shawano Community High School Choir performed the National Anthem, and two high school students emceed the event.

The Shawano School District Referendum and its projects represent a significant milestone for the District and the Shawano community. As one portion of the $51.2 million referendum for maintenance and upgrades, this project will feature enhancements to classrooms, fine arts, and other learning spaces, expansion of fitness and related areas, relocation of the District office to Olga Brener Intermediate School, and a significant upgrade to the athletics field.

  • Increase building and campus security for students, teachers, and staff
  • Add infrastructure to classrooms to support the latest technology
  • Update aging student life and common areas
  • Provide an enhanced athletic complex for student-athletes

The District is partnering with Hoffman Planning, Design & Construction, Inc. for the referendum projects at all four of the District’s campuses, including the primary, intermediate, and middle schools, which broke ground earlier this year.
