Waseca Jr/Sr High School is a very good place. It has a happy environment and a community that truly cares about education and school activities. The teachers are always trying their hardest and they really seem to value their students. My favorite thing about this school is that it allows you to be involved in all extracurricular departments. You can participate in music, sports, arts, and academic activities all at the same time.
