At Waconia Public Schools, we have a real desire to get to know each student as an individual. You can feel it when you walk in the door. We pride ourselves on addressing the specific needs, personalities, and interests of each student to help them flourish academically and, ultimately, as an adult.
ISD 110 is located in Carver and Hennepin counties, about 35 miles west of Minneapolis. We serve the cities of Waconia, Minnetrista, Victoria, St. Bonifacius, and New Germany. In addition, we also serve the townships of Benton, Camden, Dahlgren, Hancock, Hollywood, Laketown, San Francisco, Waconia, and Watertown.
Community Education is also a part of Waconia Public Schools, and includes Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE), Kids' Company (school-aged child care) and Waconia Wildcat Preschool.
We are a growing district, with a student population of approximately 4,100 students. From leadership to students, parents, teachers, and staff, there is a consistent belief in and commitment to the idea that by first concentrating on the full development of the whole student, academic performance will be delivered.
There is a strong commitment to ensuring that each student is ready for their own future—a future defined by their ability to be a contributing citizen in equal measure with their ability to succeed.
