Kaukauna High School serves the almost 1400 9th-12th grade students in the eastern Wisconsin town of Kaukauna. The school prides itself on fostering a community of learners that are equipped to succeed and contribute to the changing world by providing a challenging and nurturing environment. This dedication to the development of students translates to the improvement of student-athletes as well. Approximately 70% of the student body takes part in sports and co-curricular activities, and participation continues to grow. In August 2016 Kaukauna School District unveiled its new athletic facilities, including several indoor complexes and an outdoor stadium called the Bank of Kaukauna Stadium. The stadium was outfitted with Act Global’s Xtreme Turf, a professional play system that was selected and installed by ProGrass.
The opening of the new facilities brought in several hundred community members who were excited to see the new home of the Galloping Ghosts. The stadium was not only a new surface of play for several of Kaukauna High School’s sports teams but also a place of gathering for the community to cheer on their local team. On the night of the ribbon cutting, Superintendent Mark Duerwachter exclaimed, “It’s awesome! It’s a great day to be a Galloping Ghost!”
The artificial grass field is an all-weather turf that will remain beautiful for years to come, complete with specifically engineered safety components to be a durable and pristine surface of play for the Galloping Ghosts. The turf offers high-speed play with ideal traction and stability to enhance player protection and is benchmarked against top natural grass facilities to ensure precise engineering. This means that the Galloping Ghosts have a reliable surface for each of their athletic teams for years to come.
