Sending an Academies of Racine-sized THANK YOU to Fischer USA Inc., CNH Industrial, Twin Disc, Inc., Knapp Manufacturing, Wiscon Products, and Burlington Graphics Systems for hosting 8th-graders from Mitchell School, Gifford School, Jerstad Agerholm K8, and Schulte School.

In an effort to build excitement and interest around manufacturing careers, Racine Area Manufacturers and Commerce joined forces with RUSD and these companies to give our students an up-close look at machinery used in various manufacturing processes. It was a great way for them to explore future career opportunities right here in Racine.

Our 6th grade students got a taste of the real world at Junior Achievement BizTown! 💼

Students stepped into the workforce by taking on jobs, earning paychecks, managing money, and making important financial decisions. This hands-on experience gave students a chance to put their classroom learning into action while building teamwork, leadership, and financial literacy skills.

A fun day of learning what it takes to keep a community running!

Our 7th and 8th grade construction class has been hard at work building stools while learning valuable manufacturing and construction skills! 🛠️

Throughout this project, students practiced measuring, cutting, and assembling materials while also developing their computer and design skills. From planning their projects to bringing them to life, students gained hands-on experience in problem solving, teamwork, and precision craftsmanship.

We are proud of the dedication and creativity our students have shown during this project. Great work! 👏

As reading scores in Wisconsin continue to decline, we have made noticeable gains at Racine Unified!

A renewed focus on early literacy has put our change in Reading Achievement on an upward trajectory for 3rd-8th-grade students since 2023. During that same time, the average of similar districts has fallen and leveled off.
