History:

The Pulaski Community School District encompasses approximately 176 square miles. The boundaries of the school district, as it exists today, were established when the Wisconsin State Legislature passed legislation that required all areas of the state to be a part of a high school district by July 1, 1962.

Through the efforts of Frank Joswick, Superintendent of the Pulaski Community School District from 1935 to 1970, and members of the Board of Education of the Pulaski Community School District in the mid 1950's to 1962, parts of or all of 28 rural elementary schools districts in the area surrounding Pulaski, joined together to form the present Pulaski Community School District. The task of persuading citizens of these rural school districts to join the Pulaski School District was an awesome and time-consuming task.

Frank Joswick and members of the Board of Education realized that it was important to have a sufficient student population and an adequate tax base to provide the students with the offerings of a comprehensive high school. They realized that the curriculum of a school district had to meet the needs of all of its students, so that each individual student could develop his or her "best self". This belief in providing a quality education for all of its students provided the foundation for the philosophy of the Pulaski Community School District, a philosophy that still exists today.

The Pulaski Grade School was established in the late 1890's. In the early 1900's a new building was constructed for this grade school on the site of the present Glenbrook School. Additions were made to that building to create a high school along with the elementary school. Students that attended many of the one and two room 1-8 elementary schools in the area surrounding the Village of Pulaski attended Pulaski High School upon completion of their elementary schooling. Some of these districts joined the Pulaski Community School District before school district reorganization was mandated by the state legislature in the 1950's.
