School Overview
The Holum Education Center, located in DeForest, Wisconsin, serves as a specialized facility within the DeForest Area School District. Unlike a traditional K-12 campus, the center acts as a hub for district-wide administrative functions and alternative educational programming. It is designed to support the specific needs of the community by providing a centralized location for district operations and professional development, ensuring that the broader school system runs efficiently and effectively.

In addition to its administrative role, the Holum Education Center is integral to the district’s commitment to diverse learning pathways. The facility often hosts programs that cater to students who may benefit from non-traditional academic settings, such as virtual learning initiatives or specialized support services. By housing both staff resources and unique educational opportunities, the center plays a vital role in maintaining the DeForest Area School District’s mission to provide comprehensive, student-centered learning experiences.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

1 National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).

Title I Program Overview: Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) allocates federal financial assistance to local educational agencies and public schools with high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
