Wakeland gave me so many chances I never would have gotten going to another school. I have been able to be a part of one of the best music programs in the country and participate in classes and clubs that so many other schools never have the opportunity to offer.

My overall experience at Wakeland has been relatively average. I have had the opportunity to take several career path classes which has helped me narrow down what I want to major in in college which has been the best thing I could ask for.
