McDill Elementary School (Terpstra) is an elementary charter school in Whiting, Wisconsin in the Stevens Point Area School District that teaches about 400 students in the Northern Plover, Southern Stevens Point, and Whiting, Wisconsin area. The school teaches students in grades Kindergarten through sixth grade. The school team is called the McDill Timberwolves, and their mascot is a bison head with a McDill Hat named Bobby the Buffalo. Bobby the Buffalo is located at the front of the school. McDill's principal is currently Dennis Raabe. The school, like every other school in the district, runs from early September to early June every year.
McDill School was started in 1953, with different rooms serving different purposes than they do now. In the 1980s' the gymnasium, Main Office, Band/Orchestra Room, current front entrance, Music Room, new hallways, a new Teachers' Lounge, and a few other rooms were added to the school.
The school mascot used to be the McDill Minutemen before a principal decided this was sexist. The mascot was then changed to the current Timberwolves.
