An amazing school with resources for all types of learners! Administration is visible and responsive, teachers are engaging and committed, and the communication is frequent and thorough. The diversity of the student and family population prepares students for the world outside the walls of the school. There are so many offerings in terms of classes, sports, and clubs that any child can find a niche here. Simply cannot imagine a better place to have my child receive an education!

Review Nicolet Union High School

Nicolet will always hold a place in my heart, I graduated in 2022. I participated in sports and in various clubs. My coaches were some of the most influential positive figures in my life and I will always remember them. Classes at Nicolet were hard when I was in them, but when I went to college I realized how lucky I was to have AP experience and study habits under my belt. That is my biggest pro of Nicolet, They prepare you to succeed in whatever school or trade you want to go to. I was one of the last years to graduate before the remodeling started, my only complaint would have been that the school itself was pretty old and needed some TLC, but obviously they are taking care of that now! I think the best thing that Nicolet could implement would be making sure that there are all types of route for students after they graduate high school, like having more people from trades or healthcare come in to talk about their paths to their jobs!

My sons went to Nicolet, and now my grandchildren. The school is excellent! My sons were well prepared for college. I especially appreciated how they were allowed to explore their talents and experiment in many areas of the arts. I am so pleased that my grandchildren are going there, too. The recent renovations and additions show our community commitment to maintaining Nicolet as one of the best high schools in Wisconsin.
