Frequently Asked Questions 

Are there two (2) school districts in the City of Hartford?

Yes! The School District of Hartford Jt. #1 (HJT1) is separate from Hartford Union High School (HUHS) - they are two different school districts. This district, HJT1, educates early childhood through eighth grades, and HUHS educates ninth through twelfth grades.

There are 421 individual school district in Wisconsin. Each of these districts is open to all students, must meet state and federal laws and is accountable to community members through a locally elected school board. Most school districts in Wisconsin educate students from grades pre-kindergarten or kindergarten through grade twelve (K-12). However, there are some school districts that only educate students in grades pre-kindergarten or kindergarten through grade eight (K-8), while union high school districts only serve high school levels. In these cases, after students complete the 8th grade in a K-8 district, they attend a union high school for grades 9-12.

Hartford is one of ten Union High School Districts in the state of Wisconsin and is home to both the Hartford Union High School District (9-12) and the School District of Hartford Jt. #1 (K-8).
