[edit] History

Muskego High School was constructed in 1956 at the corner of Woods Road and Racine Ave. Its first elected administrator, Arnold Wicklund, oversaw the school's construction. ^[2] Prior to the school's construction, many Muskego children attended school in the Milwaukee School District. Much of the history of Muskego High School can be found in a letter sent from Mr. Wicklund's daughter to the current administration.^[3]

In September 2003 the high school was completely remodeled, with 155,000 square feet (14,400 m²) added to the building. Facilities that were added include several wings and a performing arts center. The campus also expanded, with approximately 40 acres (160,000 m²) of new athletic fields and green space. Students as well as athletic teams now use the approximately 130 acres (0.53 km²).^{[clarification needed]}
