Good morning, Racine.

Fratt Elementary celebrated its first full remodel on May 21 when staff and students cut a red ribbon at a $13.9 million project that added a modern gym and new library (updating the historic school built 110 years ago) as part of the district’s long-term facilities plan.

Gateway Technical College graduated 604 students in record-setting ceremonies held May 19 & May 20.

The event marked a milestone for the Class of 2026 and celebrated local educational success.

At a May 21 town hall, local Rep. Cruz and union leader Rickman pressed for a bill to raise wages from $7.25 to $15 now and $20 by 2030 with inflation adjustments - a plan to help families cover costs and allow Racine to set a higher local wage floor.
