The School District of Washburn is excited to share that construction and renovation projects are now officially underway. Made possible by the community’s support of the November 2024 referendum, these much-anticipated updates will bring significant improvements to the middle and high school.

Dear Castle Guard Families, Staff, Students, and Community Members,
As we approach the end of the 2025-2026 school year, there is so much to celebrate in the School District of Washburn. Our students have reached incredible heights this year, from achieving significant academic growth on our state report cards to showcasing our Castle Guards on the stage with amazing music performances. This spring, we also celebrated the girls' and boys' track teams as Conference Champions. These honors are a testament to the hard work of our students, the dedication of our staff, and the unwavering support of our families. I am incredibly proud to be both a Washburn educator and a community member!

We are thrilled to announce that the construction team is officially gearing up for a transformational summer at the Washburn Middle/High School!
Big Improvements Ahead: School Renovation Schedule
Construction and renovation projects approved in the November 2024 capital referendum will begin this summer, immediately after graduation. Following mobilization in early June, crews will be on-site for approximately 16–18 months.
The design team at ISG Architects is finalizing plans for the renovated space at Washburn Middle/High School.
