Why Waukee CSD?
We are a leader in academics. We are a vibrant community. We are an exceptional place to learn, work, and thrive.
We are Waukee.
World Class Facilities
Our District features 19 buildings with modern, well-maintained facilities. We prioritize continued improvements, up-to-date technology, and welcoming spaces to offer an exceptional educational environment for our students.
Work-Based Learning
We ensure our graduates will succeed in college, the workplace, and life. Three-quarters of our graduating class participate in work-based learning through our Waukee APEX program, career services, internships, and more.
Innovation
As one of the largest and fastest growing districts in the state, innovation is part of our culture. From augmented reality welders to robotics — we adapt to the changing world of education and prepare our students for a future they can't yet envision.
Endless Opportunities
At Waukee CSD, we feel like a small community with the opportunities and amenities of a large district. Every student can explore their interests through athletics, performing arts, publications, clubs, volunteering, and more.
"I benefited so much from APEX in ways that traditional courses in both my high school and college experience couldn’t provide."
