This school year marks the third year that we’ve had coaching staff dedicated to helping our teachers instruct through a lens of equity. Our team of Instructional Equity Coaches consists of experienced classroom teachers who have moved away from full-time teaching to work directly with other teachers and help them improve their practice, through professional development, classroom observations and post-observation conversations, helping inform improvement plans and more. As we continue our work toward equity in excellence, learn more about how our Instructional Coaching model is helping.

Morgridge Family Donates Additional $1.7 Million to East High School Pool Renovation Project with a Match from the District
|
The Wauwatosa School Board voted unanimously to approve an additional donation of $1.7 Million from John and Tashia Morgridge for the East High School aquatic space renovation during the board meeting meeting on Monday, September 9, 2019.
Along with the donation, the school board approved a matching expenditure of the same amount from the Wauwatosa School District’s operating budget to complete the work. The increased budget for the project is the result of structural challenges that were identified with the aquatic space during the preliminary design process.
