That is something worth celebrating.
Whether students are involved in athletics, fine arts, student organizations, leadership opportunities, career and technical student organizations, or other school activities, participation helps them build friendships, develop confidence, strengthen teamwork, practice leadership, and feel more connected to their school.
At Waverly-Shell Rock, we believe these experiences are an important part of educating the whole child. They give students opportunities to discover their strengths, pursue their interests, and create memories that last well beyond graduation.
We are proud of the Class of 2026 and grateful for the coaches, sponsors, directors, staff members, families, and community supporters who make these opportunities possible.

These credentials represent real, workforce-ready skills in areas such as agriculture, OSHA safety, manufacturing and machining, welding, precision measurement, multimeter skills, and process engineering.
We are proud of our students for taking advantage of these opportunities, and we are grateful for the W-SR staff members who help connect classroom learning to real-world skills and future possibilities.
It’s a GREAT day to be a 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿-𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 Go-Hawk!

Some are continuing their education at four-year colleges, community colleges, or other postsecondary programs. Others are entering the workforce, beginning apprenticeships, or serving our country through the military. Some will stay close to home in Iowa, while others will take their next steps out of state.
No matter the path, each graduate represents a story of growth, effort, support, and possibility.
At Waverly-Shell Rock, our goal is to help students discover their strengths, pursue meaningful goals, and prepare for their future. The Class of 2026 is a wonderful example of what that can look like.
Congratulations to our graduates as they take their next steps!
