Mr. Steve Van Wyhe

Preparing Students for What Comes Next!

Having grown up in the Auburndale School District, it is an honor to be the District Administrator.  As a child I remember riding the school bus from our dairy farm near Arpin.  This school district has helped to instill a strong work ethic into me, as well as teach me the importance of respect to others, my country, and community.  The Auburndale School District has changed much in the years since I have been a student.  We have made many improvements to our facilities and increased our course offerings.  However, many things have remained the same, including our commitment to preparing our students for the future.  

In today’s world, students are now relying on high school for career training, college level classes, and learning how to succeed in an ever-changing world.  Our district provides these opportunities for our students.  At Auburndale, we are big enough so that our students have many opportunities, but small enough so that students do not fall through the cracks.  We have a dedicated staff who look out for the best interest of our students.

Of course, all that I have mentioned above, would not be possible without a very supportive community.  Our community is extremely supportive of our schools, and we try very hard to give back to them.  I would encourage all community members to consider visiting our monthly community coffee get togethers, which are held during the first and third Wednesdays of each month during the school year at the high school at 8:00 AM. 

If you are looking for smaller class sizes, an education tailored to your child, and a plethora of extra curricular opportunities; the Auburndale School District is for you.  If you would like a tour of our district, or if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.
