Schenk Elementary
Schenk is located on 12 acres of open space within a surrounding residential eastside neighborhood, near Lake Monona, Olbrich Park and the Botanical Gardens. Built in 1954, Schenk was one of the first fully accessible elementary schools built in Madison. Today the school is connected to Whitehorse Middle to form a 5K through 8th grade campus.
