Dean, a McFarland High School student, presented the board with a student report covering student-council activities, community service and performing-arts dates. "This is the fifth edition of the McFarland High School Student Report for the 2025, 2026 academic school year," Dean said, and highlighted prom planning (Madison Masonic Center Grand Ballroom; student theme winner: "Murder Masquerade"), the Spartan Pride assembly and Super Spartan awards (senior Hannah Kirch received a Super Spartan award). He also described a Thanksgiving-meal effort by multiple clubs that prepared meals and collected mobility equipment for senior citizens.
Later in the meeting, Paul (presenter) gave the athletics update. He summarized fall team records and state-level results: boys soccer went 14–7 and reached the state semifinals; football qualified for WIAA Division 3 playoffs; girls swimming placed seventh at the WIAA state meet with eight qualifiers. Paul shared coaches’ feedback and student comments describing the programs as well organized and supportive.
Paul also reviewed participation metrics drawn from Infinite Campus: 290 fall-sport participants (75 ninth-graders, 96 tenth-graders, 61 eleventh-graders, 58 twelfth-graders), 147 male and 143 female participants, and an average cumulative GPA for fall athletes of about 3.478. He noted 12 special-education students participated in fall sports. The report highlighted middle-school participation as well — about 75 middle-school cross-country participants — and described feeder programs such as middle-school dance feeding the high school dance team.
Board members praised student volunteer efforts and athletic achievements and asked questions about division placement rules, which Paul attributed to enrollment and a WIAA three-year point-based 'success factor' that can move a program up a division.
No board action was required; the presentations were informational.
