Waunakee High School, in accordance with state statute 118.33 (1)(6), permits a junior or senior student who has demonstrated a high level of maturity and personal responsibility the ability to leave the school premises for ONE study hall. In order to be eligible, students must have parent permission, no F's first semester, a GPA of at least 2.7, must not have been suspended during the previous semester, and not have any attendance concerns. Release privileges can be revoked by administration if the student has an unexcused absence, is suspended, falls below a 2.7 GPA, transports a student not released from the building, is involved in an unlawful activity during release time, or by parent request. Students on release from study hall should not be in the building. Please note that schedule changes regarding study halls will not be granted at this time.

History of the Waunakee Freshman Homecoming Dinner - The idea of having a Freshman Class dinner came about several years ago as a way to reduce the overwhelming task of finding the perfect spot for pictures, going out to dinner, finding rides and all the extra planning that goes into Homecoming. It’s great to have a dinner and gathering place where EVERYONE IS INCLUDED; EVERYONE HAS THE SAME AMAZING EXPERIENCE, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY NO ONE FEELS LEFT OUT! This has been such a success the past few years, we wanted to continue the tradition with the Class of 2027.
All information will also be posted on the CLASS OF 2027 Facebook Page.
We are looking forward to seeing all of you at The Barn! The Freshman Homecoming Dinner Committee
