Hello!

I am very grateful to be part of the outstanding staff of Wisconsin Rapids Public Schools, and always enjoy the excitement each new school year brings.  I have been involved in public education for the past 18 years and have held many positions during that time.  Included in that time is 8 years that I have served as Superintendent; first in Prairie Farm (a small rural district of 385 in Barron County) for 3 years, then in the Barron Area School District (a rural district of 1,400 also in Barron County) for 4 years, and now I'm proud to be serving in the Wisconsin Rapids Public Schools.

In addition to my professional life, I am also a husband and father of 3.  These professional and personal experiences have shaped who I am today as well as my expectations of what our public schools do for our kids.  I feel that school districts are here to serve our students, parents, and community and provide a well-rounded educational experience allowing our graduates to make virtually any choice upon graduation.

Wisconsin Rapids Public Schools has a solid foundation of strong academic and co-curricular programs, and I am looking forward to continuing those opportunities while finding ways to enhance them and push for innovation district-wide.

Feel free to contact me any time.

Sincerely,

Craig G. Broeren

Superintendent
