Free to participate, donations to National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) WI Southeast Chapter are welcome. When on NAMI's donation page, please choose "Pewaukee High School Hope Walk" when indicating how the donation should be used.
Location: 404 Lake St Pewaukee, WI 53072
We are offering two different courses so everyone can participate!
Course One is 1.5 miles long and goes through the trails on the Pewaukee School District. This course will have some hills and rocks along the way.
Course Two is on the school track. This is our handicapped/stroller course. You can do as many laps as you would like (four laps = one mile).
We want everyone to be able to participate, so if Course One sounds too challenging for you, Course Two will be the better option for you.
Hope Squad is a nationwide program for schools, and it works towards peer-to-peer suicide prevention while promoting connection, community, and hope. The 2026 Pewaukee Hope Walk will be the third annual walk. The Hope Walk was started in 2024 by Julia Piper, a 2026 graduate of PHS, following the tragic loss of classmate Logan Troyk in May 2024. The goal for this walk is to inspire others to discuss mental health and break the stigma of asking for help. Pewaukee's Hope Squad chapter has been growing over the years, with an increasing number of students that represent the organization's purpose of promoting mental well-being. The Pewaukee Hope Squad strives to continue promoting mental health, connection, community, and hope, and end the stigma people face when it comes to asking for help.
