We are a diverse and dynamic District with more than 5,200 students. Our mission, values, and goals support the academic success of our students. Our dedicated and talented teachers, administration, and staff reinforce and encourage high academic expectations, quality instructional practices, viable curriculum, student engagement, and an emphasis on 21st Century Learning that highlights critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication.

On behalf of the Board of Education and the School District of Beloit we stand against all forms of systemic and institutional racism. Now more than ever it is necessary for our community’s institutions and organizations to commit to be anti-racist. We are proud of the diversity within the School District of Beloit and we acknowledge the challenges and adversity that so many of our families of color are facing. We are always committed to supporting our students, families, and staff. We are here for you and we are stronger together. #BeloitProud

At the School District of Beloit, we believe in Diversity (honoring and respecting our human differences); Equity (removing barriers and providing support for individuals to achieve their greatest potential); and Inclusion (ensuring each and every one belongs).

Mission
Committed to excellence and strengthened and enriched by diversity, we prepare each student to compete, contribute, and thrive as an admirable person in a rapidly changing world by engaging students in a wide variety of high quality, relevant programs in partnership with families, schools, and the stateline community.

Vision
Preparing and inspiring every student to succeed in life and contribute to an ever-changing world. 

The School District of Beloit understands the importance of supporting diversity initiatives in and out of the classroom, and we make it a priority in our recruitment and retention of staff.

With just over 5,200 students, 36.5% of our students identify as Hispanic; 30.2% as Caucasian; 21.8% as African American; and 11.5% identify as Asian, American Indian, Pacific Islander, or two or more races. Of the 840 staff members in our District, 27.5% of our staff represent a minority race/ethnicity to provide students with cultural role models and experiences.

The Grow Your Own Multicultural Teacher Scholarship Program provides scholarships to minority students pursuing a career in education. Once their education is completed, our hope is that they will return to Beloit and our School District to begin their career.

The Grow Your Own Multicultural Teacher Scholarship Program not only helps our students but the community as well. Diversity helps our students to be more globally competitive. The School District of Beloit staff support and fund this scholarship program through an automatic payment deduction. 

Our District includes an early childhood program; six elementary schools, 4K through fifth grade; two middle schools, sixth through eighth grade; one traditional high school with an Academy Model; and one alternative high school.

We pride ourselves on the creative learning opportunities we provide to our staff and students.

With academic and social and emotional well-being of our students as our focus, we offer All-Day 4k, Dual Language Immersion, Advanced Technical Training, Advanced Learner, 1:1 iPad Learning, Career Academies, Collegiate Academy, Arts-focused learning to include music, drama, arts and writing, and so much more.

The School District is the only District in Rock County to offer a Dual Language Immersion Program and one of only ten in the State of Wisconsin. Additionally, we are the only District in Rock County to offer a musical instrument program beginning in intermediate school.

The School District of Beloit is proud to be the only District in Rock County offering a Career Academy program since the start of the 2018-2019 school year. This program is one of the many advantages of attending Beloit Memorial High School.

A College and Career Academy is a personalized small learning community within Beloit Memorial High School, involving a cohort of students and a team of committed teachers for a two through four year span.

Academies provide real-world experiences with local businesses and professionals, linking schoolwork and the workplace. Academies provide students the advanced skills they need to be successful, productive citizens in college, career and life by providing engaging, hands-on, relevant learning opportunities, developing small learning communities, and connecting with local businesses, post-secondary institutions, and community organizations.

All freshman are part of the Freshman Academy in which they are able to start exploring Career Academies through entry-level career and technical education courses and exposure to Beloit Memorial High School Career Academies.

Mid-way through freshman year, students will be asked to select a career pathway to explore during their Sophomore through Senior years and become part of an Academy. This decision is collaborative involving the student, counselors, teachers, and administration.

Beloit Memorial offers four College and Career Academies and a Collegiate Academy
Freshman Academy
BACH (Business, Art, Communication, and Hospitality)
HHES (Health, Human, and Educational Services)
PACMES (Public Service, Automotive, Construction, Manufacturing, Engineering, and Science)

From 4k through senior year in high school, our integrated and rigorous Arts, Music and Drama programs provide students the opportunity to explore, grow, and foster creativity.

From elementary through high school our students perform in choir and band concerts, plays, musicals, local and regional art gallery shows, showcasing their creative talent and skills.

Our High School Performing Arts Department participates in state and national competitions bringing home awards, recognitions, and accolades.

Our award-winning, nationally renowned Jazz Band has a tradition of excellence within the classroom and outside of the classroom. Their continuous invite to the Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Competition has garnered national recognition and awards.
