Academics
[edit]In 2016, a referendum to fund facility improvements was approved by voters. The referendum includes, a new baseball complex, auditorium, track, aquatic pool, and artificial turf for the football field. The football field, track, and baseball complex were completed in 2018. A new pool and auditorium were completed in 2019.[citation needed]
Athletics
[edit]Since the 2008-09 school year, McFarland teams have competed in the WIAA Rock Valley Conference. The swim team is an exception because the Rock Valley Conference has no swimming program.
