SHAWANO, Wis. (WFRV) – The Shawano School District officially broke ground Tuesday on a series of major facility projects following the approval of a $51 million capital referendum in November.
The projects will bring updates and improvements to Olga Brener Intermediate School, Hillcrest Primary School, and Shawano Community Middle School.

The November referendum succeeded after a $54.5 million proposal was narrowly defeated during the April 2024 election. The revised plan gained enough support to move forward with the much-needed upgrades.
Students attended the groundbreaking ceremony, with the middle school band providing music before the event was moved indoors due to inclement weather.
