Message from Athletics and Activities Director Jeff Spiwak

Badger Conference Cancels 2020 Fall Season

Dear Red Hawks,

The Covid-19 pandemic has created immense challenges in almost every aspect of our daily lives. As we inch closer to the start of the academic year, the School District of Milton is working tirelessly to provide students and families with an exceptional educational experience that holds the safety, health, and wellness of our students, staff and our greater community at the highest priority. Hand-in-hand with instruction, education-based athletics and extracurricular activities are a direct extension of the classroom and are an integral part of our students’ educational experience. 

Unfortunately, at noon today the Badger Conference will officially announce the cancellation of the conference fall athletic season in its entirety. This does not necessarily mean that there will be no WIAA athletics offered this fall at Milton High School. At this point, no official determination has been made by the School District of Milton in regards to fall sports. Moving forward, we will continue to explore every avenue and consider every contingency in offering high quality and safe extracurricular programming for the 2020-2021 school year. Ultimately, the final determination for fall athletics will be made by the Board of Education at the August 10th school board meeting. Until that time, the athletic and activities department will work hard to best navigate the ever-changing landscape of Covid-19 to best serve students, staff, and the community. 

Below, you will find the link to the official press release by the Badger Conference.

Thank you and go Red Hawks!
