Waunakee Middle School

Waunakee Middle School and its future location are at the heart of a referendum the district plans to present in November.  Its siting may affect the future of other K-12 schools in the district, as officials move forward with WCSD's long-range facility planning.  

The majority of Waunakee Community School District (WCSD) residents would prefer that the district’s new middle school be built on South Street and that Heritage Elementary gets replaced with an updated K-4 facility in the next few years, according to the results of a recent survey.

WCSD superintendent Randy Guttenberg shared a summary this week of the community survey that was sent to district residents in April, asking for feedback on which pathways they would support for an upcoming facility and operational referendum. The survey presented two options for the capital portion of the referendum – each based on the location of a new middle school – and several questions related to potential uses of operational funding.
