Way to go, Hillia! 👏

A Waukee Northwest High School student is using her voice to make a positive impact at the state level.

Following a competitive selection process, a committee chose Hillia Shaju for the Iowa Youth Advisory Council. As a member, she'll advise state leaders as they shape policies, programs, and initiatives for Iowa's youth. Congratulations, Hillia! 👏

Our choir students had the trip of a lifetime this summer on a performance tour through France, Belgium, and the Netherlands!

The group performed at the Utah Beach Memorial in Normandy, La Madeleine Church in Paris, St. Giles Church in Bruges, and De Duif in Amsterdam. Between performances, they explored the countries and visited historical sites.

What an amazing experience for these students and an incredible way to represent our school and District. 🎶
