The mission of the Hodag Facilities Foundation is to improve the facilities of the School District of Rhinelander in order to provide a better environment for our children, as well as the entire Rhinelander community.

The Hodag Facilities Foundation envisions facilities which will meet the long term needs of the Rhinelander schools and community, support the well-being of youth and adults alike, strengthen ties to Hodag alumni, and provide opportunities comparable to other communities.

We believe in values, which the members hold in common and endeavor to put into practice:

  • We will develop objectives that maintain the primary focus on the needs of the students of the School District of Rhinelander.
  • We will maintain honesty and act with integrity in all areas.
  • We will keep our vision on the future, recognizing the importance of long range planning.
  • We will seek facilities that place an emphasis on safety and efficiency.
  • We will show appreciation to every donor and value every contribution.
