About Us :

The Flambeau School District is made up of five villages and the whole or parts of the fourteen towns. In 1937 the territory compromising the present school district was made up of twenty-three school districts and parts of six more school districts. Union Free High Schools were operated at Glen Flora, Conrath, and Sheldon. Each of the five villages in the present district operated either a first or second class state graded school and the rest of the territory was made up of one-room rural school districts.

The Tony Union Free High School District pioneered by offering transportation to the high school students outside of the district who wished to attend at Tony on a tuition basis. This was first done in the fall of 1937 and the high school enrollment doubled at Tony, later encouraging rural areas served by the high school to attach to the Tony district for high School purposes.

During the late 1940's and early 1950's, many of the one-room rural school districts had been attached to the village graded schools. The final round of the mergers began in 1951 and ended in 1960. The Conrath Grade District joined Tony in 1951. In 1952 there was a consolidation of the Tony, Glen Flora, Ingram, and Hawkins Districts. Lasting only a few months, this ill-fated district was dissolved by a court order after some bitter litigation.

In 1956 the Sheldon School District, which previously had absorbed rural districts in the Town of Marshall and Willard, Rusk County; Town of McKinley, Taylor County; and the Town of Ruby, Chippewa County joined Tony, which had become a 1-12 district following the dissolution of the previous consolidation.
