Messmer’s WinterM is a one-month springboard to student growth and momentum. Each January, we take a break from a traditional course schedule to offer everything from vital credit recovery to vocational deep-dives in healthcare and the trades. WinterM gives students the space to catch up, explore, and discover what comes next.

Students recently had the opportunity to participate in an intensive speaker series featuring leaders from the worlds of finance, logistics, manufacturing, and design.

From Ixonia Bank CEO Greg Larson’s "no-shortcuts" guide to leadership to Tom Parks’ (Annex Wealth Management) thoughts on avoiding "TikTok financial advice," the message was clear: success is built on grit, curiosity, and the willingness to say "yes" to new challenges.

We are thrilled to celebrate the achievements of Messmer High School junior Damyan, who was recently selected for the Milwaukee Art Museum’s (MAM) prestigious Satellite Internship Program.

Every October, the entire Messmer student body pauses their usual routines for one of the most anticipated events of the year: our annual fall retreats. These formative experiences are a highlight for students and faculty alike, creating powerful memories and providing essential time for reflection, growth, and community building.

From freshmen just finding their footing to seniors preparing for graduation, each class participates in a unique, age-appropriate retreat designed to guide them through their high school journey.

At Messmer, the spirit of community and support shines brightly, especially through the work of Messmer’s Student Ambassadors. Our ambassadors are often the first friendly faces future students encounter.

Hear why Ra'Nyzsia, Jocelyn, and Bry'Shawn enjoy welcoming future students, and the advice they give to new students.
