2007 Renovation

[edit]

In 2007, a brand new $16 million addition was built onto the Senior High building.

Previously Jr. High students attended a building separate from the Senior High. Both Jr. High and Senior High students will now use the new addition to the school.

Waukon Wellness Center was also built and opened across the street from the school. Matt Hoover, season two winner of NBC's The Biggest Loser, spoke at the grand opening.
