Last Day at Kashia Elementary

Kashia Elementary, a culturally vital K-8 school serving only tribal members, is shutting down permanently after dwindling to just six students — a number too low under state policy. The last day of classes was June 22, ending decades of community education. The district will dissolve this summer, leaving behind tribal artifacts and cultural projects as officials clear the building. Most students will transfer to Horicon, 20 minutes away, sparking parental fears over safety, racism, and past tensions — including a teacher-superintendent feud that led to legal action. Though the physical school vanishes, its cultural legacy endures as tribal leaders hope the spirit of Kashia lives on through its children’s new chapter.
