At Waterloo Schools, the future is now. With career-ready programming like the more than 20 options available at the Waterloo Career Center, we help students discover where their passion meets profession. Our alumni include world-renowned Olympic wrestler Dan Gable and Pulitzer Prize winning author and creator of The 1619 Project Hannah Nikole-Jones. We continue to grow generations of leaders – one of our current seniors has been offered a full ride scholarship to Stanford University thanks to her involvement in our International Baccalaureate offerings. The future is here! The future is now. Waterloo Schools is an award-winning PK-12 school district committed to growing students from Iowa, the heartland of the US, into global citizens. Our students graduate with a diploma and a plan for their futures; they're college-ready and career-ready. We offer a vast array of nationally and internally recognized programs such as Leader in Me, Junior Achievement, and International Baccalaureate as well as opportunities exclusively available at Waterloo like LifeLabs.
