St. Francis School District

Master Planning Leads to Successful $30.6M Referendum | St. Francis, WI

GROTH Design Group partnered with St. Francis School District to spearhead a district-wide facility assessment process to achieve a subsequently approved referendum for improvements to the district’s St. Francis High School, Deer Creek Intermediate School, and Willow Glen Primary School. The firm assisted with existing facility studies and created 40 different options which were vetted and studied based on associated tax-impact and feasibility. 

Options were then presented to the district and community to build consensus and buy-in, prior to going to a successful $30.6M referendum.

The following options were presented to the district and community to build consensus and buy-in, prior to going to a successful $30.6M referendum:

  • Renovations and additions at Willow Glen and Deer Creek School campuses
  • District-wide capital maintenance and building improvements
  • Safety, security and accessibility updates District-wide
  • Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) additions and renovations at all schools
  • Upgrades to the Recreation Building
  • High School theater upgrades 
  • High School athletic facility upgrades and improvements
