History In 1957, nine independent school districts in the Whittemore area consolidated, raising the need for a larger high school. Whittemore High School was the only full high school in the consolidated area, and students from the area's small elementary schools often attended high school elsewhere. Voters approved a bond issue for the new high school in August 1957, and building contracts were finalized in May 1958 for a fall 1959 opening.
In 1996, voters passed a bond issue to build the current elementary school. The issue passed by one vote, and included the renovation of the high school and converting the existing elementary school to a school for grades seven and eight. Currently, the junior high and high school share a building.
Schools Schools in Whittemore-Prescott Area Schools share a campus on Mills Road west of Whittemore.
