The fire roared through Peshtigo and surrounding areas, ultimately burning 2,400 acres and killing [...]
This past Sunday, men's dean Kevin Wilkinson led the students in a series of activities designed to build trust and community. Students had to work together and rely on one another to accomplish many of the challenges. The final activity involved a $20 bill, a rat trap, and a promise. Wilkinson closed the evening [...]
Last Saturday night, the girls built community while baking cookies, pies, and cupcakes for a bake sale. Nearly half the girls in the dorm participated and had a lot of fun doing all the calculations to see how much they could make. On Sunday, they sold their baked goods to students and staff, making [...]

The concrete and brick structure was built this summer by Ramón Hilario with Doug Show. When the sign is complete, there will [...]
God has once again blessed us with a wonderful group of young men and women here at Wisconsin Academy. Seventy-two students are currently registered with a few more still considering the possibilities. The junior class is large enough that we have had to split it into two sections! This week has been busy. We've [...]
