Verona Area School District
The Verona Area School District is a public K-12 school district just outside of Madison, Wisconsin with approximately 5,600 students and 800+ staff. Our success is built on a foundation of Equity, Mutual Respect, Cultural Responsiveness, the Pursuit of Excellence, and Shared Responsibility at School, at Home, and in the Community. We believe that each student should have access to the resources and educational rigor they NEED, at the right moment in their education, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, ability, language, family background, or family income. In addition to a 600,000 square-foot state-of-the-art high school, several schools were renovated including Sugar Creek, New Century School, and Verona Area International School, Badger Ridge Middle School, and Core Knowledge Charter. The schools include modern, up-to-date library media centers, computer labs, Internet access to all classrooms, and attractive, adaptable instructional classroom settings.
