Hohman Community Celebrates School Achievements and Board Elections

The Holmen School District Board meeting on April 14, 2025, highlighted significant community engagement and student achievements, while also marking a bittersweet farewell to a valued board member.

Keaton, a student representative, expressed gratitude for his time on the board, reflecting on the collaborative spirit within the community, particularly with the Boys and Girls Club. He noted the positive impact of recent events, including a successful blood drive and state forensics competition, where students excelled. "It’s been an unreal position that I got the privilege to have been part of," he said, emphasizing the importance of community involvement.

Board members echoed Keaton's sentiments, thanking him for his contributions and wishing him well as he graduates. "You've been an absolute pleasure to be on this board," said one member, highlighting the camaraderie and support shared among the board.

In addition to the farewell, the meeting addressed the recent operational referendum, which unfortunately did not pass. Board members acknowledged the efforts of those involved in the referendum process, particularly thanking Julie Holman and Dr. Mueller for their hard work.

Looking ahead, the board discussed upcoming meetings and events, including a finance committee meeting and a policy committee meeting scheduled for late April and early May. The board also reviewed updates to the wellness policy, which will be considered for approval at the next meeting.

As the meeting concluded, the board moved into closed session to discuss personnel matters, ensuring that important decisions regarding staff compensation and performance evaluations would be handled with confidentiality. The Holmen School District continues to foster a strong sense of community and commitment to student success, even as it navigates challenges ahead.
