Location
The town of Fancher is a great central location to our anticipated students and staff, located halfway between Stevens Point and Amherst just south of Highway 10. The school is just down the road from the Tomorrow River State Trail, which will be utilized by the students for physical education class and nature exploration activities.
History
The old Fancher School is located next to the St. Mary of Mount Carmel Church built in 1912. It opened with an enrollment of 150 students. An addition was built in 1922, allowing some students to board at the school. In 1934 the school was destroyed by a fire and was rebuilt as it stands today. The school was very popular and remained open as a parochial/Polish school until 1970.
**While this school building was once operated by the St. Mary of Mount Carmel Church, Central Sands High School is non-sectarian in its programs, admission policies, employment practices, and all other operations.
