Wayzata
High school is a name used in some parts of the world, and particularly in North America, to describe the last segment of compulsory secondary education. It is preceded by primary education. High school is also the name used to describe the institution in which the final stage of compulsory education takes place. In the United States, high schools generally consist of grades 9, 10, 11, and 12, although the inclusion of grade 9 varies by school district.
Wayzata High School is a high school which is located at Plymouth, in Minnesota. It is a northwestern suburb of Minneapolis-St. Paul. The high school is operated by the Wayzata School District which has about 3,200 students, from grades 9 to 12. The current principal as of 2006 is Dr. Craig Paul. The Mascot of the school is Trojans. Its interior measures 487,000 square feet and cost was 58 million US dollars. The construction of the school was completed in August 1997.
The classes of the school run on a block schedule of four periods of approximately 86 minutes each. During a semester majority of students have the same four classes every day, though many may have some changes between terms due to one-term courses or three-term courses. Some exceptions to this are students in some band, orchestra, and choir classes, who alternate one class with their respective music class every other day.
In 2005, the Wayzata Trojans won their first ever state football title 28-24 over Cretin-Derham Hall High School. The team reached the title game the year before in 2004, but lost a close game to Minnetonka, 23-14. Wayzata is part of the Classic Lake Conference in the Minnesota State High School League. Academic extra-curricular activities include debate, maths team, knowledge masters open and quiz bowl.
Wayzata is one of the largest public high schools in Minnesota. It is also assumed to be one of the largest public high schools in the country itself. It is well developed and equipped in academics, extra curricular activities, athletics and state championships.
