Wayzata honors state‑champion teams and Oakwood Elementary’s National Blue Ribbon
Summary
The board recognized Wayzata High School girls' soccer and girls' cross country for state championships and celebrated Oakwood Elementary’s designation as a 2024 National Blue Ribbon School. District leaders and school staff accepted awards and praised student achievement.
The Wayzata Board recognized multiple school achievements at the Nov. 12 meeting. Superintendent Chace B. Anderson noted the WHS Girls Soccer team's 3–1 win over Edina in the 2024 AAA State Championship and the Girls Cross Country team's third consecutive MSHSL State Championship (the cross country team finished with 42 points and placed three runners in the Top Ten).
The board also celebrated Oakwood Elementary's selection as a 2024 National Blue Ribbon School in the Exemplary High‑Performing Schools category. The packet notes Oakwood is one of 356 schools nationally and one of seven in Minnesota to receive the award in 2024; Principal Sarabeth deNeui and School Social Worker Amy Lien accepted the award in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 8.
Why this matters: these recognitions highlight district academic and extracurricular achievement and give context to community pride and program success across athletics and elementary instruction.
