Kohler High School Open Enrollment Fair this Saturday, January 14

Wisconsin’s open enrollment deadline for the 2012-2013 school year is quickly approaching, and Kohler High School invites all area parents and students to attend its Open Enrollment Information Fair on Saturday, January 14, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The Fair will feature booths manned by current students, teachers, and coaches providing information about the opportunities at Kohler Schools. There will also be a live demonstration of Kohler’s state-of-the-art distance learning center, which allows on and off-campus students to interact in a classroom setting via video conference. Tours of the school will be available throughout the fair, along with complimentary samples of Kohler’s fresh lunch menu options.

The state of Wisconsin allows families the option to choose the school that best fits the needs of individual students, but the timeframe during which students may apply is strictly enforced. For the 2012-2013 school year,  the online application will only be available from midnight February 6, 2012, until 4:00 p.m. on February 24, 2012. (Visit the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction website at  dpi.wi.gov/sms/psctoc.html for more information).

With the open enrollment period quickly approaching, it is vital for parents and students to obtain all necessary information needed to make the best decision. Kohler’s Information Fair on January 14 is a great way to gather information about the opportunities that Kohler High School has to offer.

With 18 extracurricular clubs, 16 athletic teams, an outstanding performing arts program, and nationally-recognized award-winning teachers, Kohler High School has something to offer every high school student. Kohler Schools Superintendent and High School Principal Marty Lexmond has led the school toward a renewed focus on the development of 21st century skills. “Kohler has a lot of tradition and strong values when it comes to education. We want to build upon these strengths and utilize the spirit within the current student population as we evolve to meet the needs of the future,” Lexmond said. Committed to continuing the excellent academic outcomes of Kohler Schools, Mr. Lexmond works closely with community members, parents, students, and staff in order to develop a curriculum that engages and inspires its students.

One of Mr. Lexmond’s first initiatives was to create the new position of Director of Student Life, which focuses on all aspects of the academic experience at Kohler Schools. The position was filled in October, 2011, by Doug Bocchini, a Kohler alumnus and long-time supporter of Kohler Schools, who is brimming with ideas. Bocchini, is passionate about his new responsibilities and looks forward to welcoming new students into the Kohler school community. “It is exciting to be a part of the lives of these Kohler students. I enjoy hearing their ideas and creating opportunities for them to express themselves during their academic careers at Kohler,” said Bocchini. Mr. Bocchini is confident that the Open Enrollment Information Fair will showcase the strengths and spirit of Kohler High School, and he personally invites everyone to attend on Saturday, January 14, 2012, from 11 a.m.-1.00 p.m.
