Wilbur School District Calendar 2026-2027

A Wilbur student’s school route leaves town and later returns. Children begin at Wilbur Elementary, where local families retain their own elementary community and board. In seventh grade, they travel east to Creston for Wilbur-Creston Junior High. Ninth grade brings the cohort back to Wilbur for Wilbur-Creston High School. The two towns share the adolescent years while Wilbur and Creston remain legally separate school districts.

The cooperative gives small cohorts a larger peer group for classes, athletics, music and student organizations. Travel changes direction with age: Creston students come to Wilbur for high school, while Wilbur students make the junior-high trip to Creston. Calendars and many activities carry the Wilbur-Creston name, yet budgets, board meetings and the early grades still belong to the individual districts.

Wilbur also remains the educational home at both ends of the local sequence. Transitional kindergarten is available within the cooperative communities, and the shared high school stands beside Wilbur’s district operations. A child can begin school in Wilbur, spend two formative years learning in another town and return home for credits, activities and graduation. The cooperative expands what students can do without erasing the public institutions or community identities that send them.
