Wayzata High School has been a great place to learn!
It has high expectations for everyone, especially the staff. The staff and teachers are friendly, and in my experience they always are willing to put in extra time to help you.
This is not an easy school to graduate from. It is a school of almost 4,000 students, and it sometimes feels easy to get lost in the croup. However, the school does a lot to make it seem smaller! There are a ton of clubs and activities that help connect you with others.
The school is also very clean. You can spend time with your friends on some couches in the commons, or get a bite to eat in between classes. You don’t need to worry about sitting somewhere dirty, because there really aren’t many dirty places.

Wayzata High School is a very large community, but that's exactly what it is, a community. I did not feel like just a number, even though I graduated with 800 and some other students. The teachers take an interest in all the students and provide extra help when needed. I also wrestled on the varsity team, coach was not only invested in our wrestling but also our academics.
There are many opportunities to get involved in the high school, you can find anything to fit your interests! The one thing that was missing, I feel is a snow boarding team!

Wayzata high school has provided amazing diversification in my education through a stellar learning environment. I've been able to explore diverse classes from game design to criminal law, and their dynamic list of electives grows yearly. I've received a quality education from caring teachers, and cannot say I regret a single class. A truly kind staff has provided guidance and room to excel. They give a strong sense of place remarkable for a 3,500 student school. My academic responsibilities are rarely drab. Challenging, they evade monotony and teach a well-rounded array of skills. In composition classes, I wrote satirical speeches and delved into rhetoric. Creative writing assigned 3 act stories and a grand open-ended film project. History classes reenacted historical conventions and gave teaching projects left open to creativity. The art club gave me access to pursue new artistic endeavors unaccessible without faculty resources. Wayzata High School has made me into who I am today.
