This past June, a record-breaking 36 students from Wayzata High School competed against 15,000 peers worldwide at the Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) International Leadership Conference in Indianapolis. To qualify for the event, students had to place in the top three at the state level. WHS had the largest number of Minnesota students from a single school.
This spring, families and staff nominated educators who make a real difference for students with disabilities, and the WSEAC selected this year’s winners at their May meeting. Please join us in honoring Adam Fleischacker, a teacher at North Woods Elementary.
Kimberly Lane Elementary is proudly recognizing Denise Krzewinski for its Employee of the Month award. Denise has worked at Kimberly Lane Elementary since 2015 in a variety of roles from Wayzata Kids, to kindergarten and recess paraprofessional, to her current role as administrative professional.
Three Wayzata High School seniors have made it to the final round of the 2026 U.S. Presidential Scholars Program. Congratulations to Jasper Z. Fang, Aaratrika Mondal, and Tanush Reddy Thimmasani on this great achievement!
The U.S. Department of Education chose these students from a group of 627 semifinalists across the country. Making it this far is a huge honor that recognizes the hard work and talent of top students nationwide.
