Welcome

Welcome to Blackhawk Country, where 1392 students enjoy a rich and vibrant learning environment. We offer our students the best of all possibilities: we are small enough to know each other, but large enough to offer a wide variety of educational, fine arts, athletic, after school, and social opportunities.

Our schools are safe, clean, and academically sound. Our highly qualified, caring staff continues to pursue opportunities that impact our students’ learning. Our parents are involved in their children's learning and are welcome in our schools.
