About Our School

The first public school in Gresham was a one-room log building established in 1884. In 1892, a frame schoolhouse was built. A larger school was built in 1902. This building housed the grades and high school. This building was destroyed by fire in 1934 and replaced later that year with the current building.

The first class graduated from Gresham High School in 1938. The gymnasium was attached to the building in 1948-49 and another addition was added in 1962.

In 1948, Gresham became a part of Joint District No. 8 as part of the consolidation of the Shawano and surrounding rural grade schools. The new district included 22 branch schools and two central schools -- Gresham and Shawano making it one of the largest integrated school districts in Wisconsin at that time.
