What is a union high school?
As one of ten union high school districts in the state, Big Foot Union High School is recognized by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) as both a high school and an independent 9-12 grade district. We have our own school board and our own district administrator (i.e. superintendent). We collaborate with four area feeder elementary schools (Fontana, Reek, Sharon, and Walworth) which are also independent or joint PK-8 districts. Together the five schools combine to form the Big Foot Area Schools Association (BFASA). In short, seven Walworth county municipalities (including three villages) share resources in one area high school. That high school is its own school district, Big Foot Union High School.
