THE HISTORY OF OUR SCHOOL

Our school is named in honor of Victor Haen, a prominent Kaukauna citizen who was dedicated to providing excellent education and educational facilities in our community.  He was born on May 31, 1914 in the Town of Buchanan and lived in Kaukauna most of his life where he operated the Haen Insurance Agency.  Victor Haen served on the Board of Education for 19 years and was president of the Kaukauna School Board at the time of his sudden, unexpected death on August 20, 1969.

Prior to his death Victor Haen worked diligently to make our school a reality.  Construction began in 1970 and was completed in the summer of 1971.  The building was dedicated on October 24, 1971.
