Nekoosa has teachers that truly do care about your success. They are willing to work with you as long as you put in the time. I enjoyed my time spent in their organizations and clubs that were offered.

Nekoosa High School is a small, close knit, loveable school. That is what I love about it; you walk through the hallways and can wave at every other student or teacher and you'll be sure to get a wave back, or even a smile. Nekoosa High School has some of the best Staff I have ever know. Every staff member is always there for you, and is always willing to help. I personally believe that is why Nekoosa runs so well. However, I would like to see more of a Diversity, more cultures and cultural education.
