Welcome to the Colby School District!

We are located in Central Wisconsin at the intersection of highways 29 and 13.  We proudly serve the communities of Colby, Dorchester and Unity and have a student population of approximately 1,000 PreK-12 students.  Our campus includes a high school, middle school and an elementary/preK facility.   We provide our students one-to-one devices in grades 4-12.  Our long range strategic planning focuses on:

  • technology
  • community engagement 
  • facilities
  • teaching and learning

Our District is situated centrally between Eau Claire and Wausau which allows residents and students to take advantage of cultural and educational opportunities while still enjoying the rural small town atmosphere.  If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions for improvement, feel free to contact Mr. Patrick Galligan, Superintendent at pgalligan@colby.k12.wi.us or 715-223-2301, extension 1001.
