‘WE WILL MENOMINIZE IT’ New Menominee Nation High School ready to move students into future
The new Menominee Nation High School threw open its doors to the community Aug. 29, with Menominee Tribal Chairwoman Gena Kakkak vowing that the new campus will be a haven of learning for Menominee students.
“Preserving our language, traditions, history and culture, we inspire our youth, nurture them and support them,” said the 1993 graduate of the old high school, who has six children in the Menominee public school system. “Our commitment to our youth is what will make this high school truly special. We will Menominize it.”
The finished 110,000-square-foot high school broke ground in May 2023 after voters overwhelmingly approved a $35 million referendum. Somerville Architects and Miron Construction worked with the district to make the campus as modern as possible, while keeping Menominee traditions and desires in mind.
