Wayzata is a challenging academic environment. There are many AP and advanced courses that can help you prepare for success in college. The administration provides a ton of resources to aid students in whatever they plan to pursue after high school. There are so many things to do! With over 150 clubs and activities, any person can find something that suits their needs. Wayzata has a beautiful campus with many impressive facilities, including nine gyms, a large cafeteria, and a field for every kind of sport. The school needs to be large to hold a massive student population. There are over 3500 kids at Wayzata!
I have enjoyed my four years at Wayzata High School. It was quite a journey! I have always been excited to go to school because I always get to experience new events every day. Do you know the saying "every day you learn something new"? It was true at Wayzata because of the amazing teachers we had. I always thought this school provided the best opportunities to its students. There are a variety of activities from Football to Club YES. Once again, I do not regret to spend the last four years of my life at the best school in the state!
I had little knowledge of English coming to high school and my freshmen year was only bearable due to my ESL teacher. I had faced no prejudice or had any trouble due to my language, teachers as well as students were always nice and helpful to me. Counselors had watched closely over ESL students, coming every month to class and answering all the questions and concerns we had. They kept encouraging us to challenge ourselves. Now, being senior, my favorite class is AP Lit, though it takes me a very long time to read the books, the discussions we have in class are really great and the opinions other students share are peculiar - I know that I would never think of such interpretations on my own. I partake in forensics event of science olympiad, and I can say, we never have any shortage in chemicals or any required equipment. Though the school was intimidating at first (it is getting close to 4000 students), I had a really good experience here and I am happy to be a Trojan!
