May 5-9 is Teacher Appreciation Week and a time when we celebrate the heart of Waconia Public Schools—our dedicated teachers. At the center of our mission to maximize opportunities for students to explore their passions and create their success are the educators who bring that vision to life each day.
Everything we do at Waconia Public Schools, ISD 110, is focused on creating opportunities for students to explore their passions and create their success. With dedicated teachers, supportive parents, and a community that values quality education, we are able to provide authentic learning experiences for all students. Let's go Wildcats!!!!
