Heritage is a gorgeous and beautiful school! It is filled with students and staff who want to support students and they want everyone to succeed! I have loved my experience working in the district and I can't wait to have my own children attend the Waunakee Community School District.

Everyone raves about the Waunakee schools, but after three years there I'm still not impressed. My son struggled in Kindergarten and was labeled "difficult". Not one person in that school has helped us. And as for the principle I have found him very unapproachable.
