Master Planning
Creating a Plan
The Muskego-Norway School District partnered with Bray to create a master plan that led the district to close two aging schools and expand and renovate Mill Valley Elementary. The plan also laid the groundwork for the new Muskego Lakes Middle School – a forward-thinking facility that embraces the district’s goal of project-based learning.
