Teachers shouldn't have to do the jobs of five people just to give students the education they deserve. 🍎

During last night's debate, David Crowley highlighted a reality educators across Wisconsin know all too well: our schools are being asked to do more with less, and teachers are left filling the gaps.

Our students deserve safe, supportive classrooms. Our educators deserve the resources, staffing and support they need to do their jobs.

The November 3rd election is an opportunity to put public education front and center. Know where the candidates stand, ask tough questions about school funding and demand real answers about how they'll support Wisconsin's students and educators.

A new chapter is beginning for public education in La Crosse. Last night, our Board of Education unanimously approved a new name, logo and tagline for the district:

La Crosse Public Schools
Grow Here. Go Anywhere.

Our new identity brings our schools together under one shared story while celebrating the traditions, pride, and communities that make each school special.

We chose La Crosse Public Schools because it puts our community’s name front and center while proudly highlighting our commitment to public education.

Grow Here. Go Anywhere. captures what we hope for every student. They grow here. Learning, exploring, building connections ,and discovering who they are. Then they go anywhere. To college, a career, the trades, or wherever their path leads.

Our new logo brings La Crosse into that story, with the sun, graduation cap, rivers, bluffs, and marsh coming together in one symbol.

This is just the beginning. We’ll share more about the next steps in the coming months.

A big thank you to CEL Marketing-PR-Design for being a thoughtful partner throughout this process and helping us bring our story to life.

La Crosse Public Schools. Grow Here. Go Anywhere.
