During the 2015-2016 school year, Slinger High School sociology, history, and technical education students took the lead on documenting the various aspects of Manufacturing, Innovation, Engineering, and Design culture and history within the geographic borders of the Slinger School District. By clicking on the buttons below, you will see the results of some of their work. The goal of this website page is to preserve some of this data for current students and community members as well as for future students and community members to use. The sociology students started with demographic data from the 2010 Census, created a district family survey, and then built some layers of research onto that.
Some of the summative data from the district family survey given in October of 2015 is available here.
