are an important part of our community. From early childhood education
to high school graduation, we pride ourselves on excellent opportunities
for academic, fine arts and athletic achievement.

opened in Mineral Point. It has been taxpayer supported continuously
since 1862. The Mineral Point School District is a PK – 12
