NUHS Today
Due to budget cuts for school funding from the state in 2007, the New Ulm Middle School had to shut down and now shares space with the New Ulm High School. A new high school is going to be built after a referendum was passed in 2014. [1] The new school is set to open in the fall of 2016. The district is excited to see that the community showed their support for education by passing the referendum for the new high school.
