Press release from Waukee Community School District: June 1, 2022 Greetings! As we wrap up the 2021-22 school year it is worth taking a moment to reflect and also to take a peek ahead to the summer. We have had another incredible year here in Waukee. Thank you to everyone who has had a part in bringing this to fruition. I am humbled by our staff for their resilience, kindness, and generosity. I am amazed by our students for reminding me each day why we do what we do and why we choose to work in education. I am reminded as a member of our community that this is truly a remarkable place. As I attended graduation last weekend for both Waukee and Northwest High Schools, it was such a great reminder that it takes so many dedicated individuals to get a student to the point of walking across the stage. Many of those individuals go unnoticed, but I am hoping each person who has impacted even one of our students can be proud of the role you have played in their success. I hope in all of this you take the time to care for each other, our community, and support one another as we head into the summer. Waukee is a special place and I want to reiterate how thankful I am for the incredible people we have in our staff, students, and families. Thank you, and have a great summer!
