Our community and school district work closely together to provide activities and services to benefit everyone. Tomahawk area citizens are welcome enjoy to the school complex facilities of the swimming pool, fitness center, and indoor track and field house. Our new Community Education Program will offer lifelong learning opportunities of all kinds for people of all ages in our community.
Tomahawk is a friendly small town surrounded by beautiful mixed coniferous and deciduous forests, and more than fifteen lakes and flowages, offering many outdoor recreational opportunities to our residents. The city of Tomahawk, founded by William H. Bradley (1838 – 1903), as a feisty start-up, is referred to as “The Magical City.” This heritage and reputation remain today with innovative employers and full integration of community and school.
The major employers in the Tomahawk area include Packaging Corporation of America (PCA)- a corrugated medium manufacturer, Harley-Davidson Motor Corporation- manufacturing parts and accessories for Harley Davidson Motorcycles, and Louisiana Pacific Corporation- a manufacturer of Oriented Strand Board. Other employment is provided by lighter manufacturing companies, service industries, and small businesses relating to tourism and vacationers. Of course, the School District of Tomahawk is also an important employer and key player in our community.
