Waukee Northwest High School is a high school located in Waukee, Iowa. It officially opened on August 18, 2021, and split Waukee into two different school feeders, the other school being Waukee High School.[2] The school has three levels, and an auditorium that can hold 1,000 people.[3]
Due to the rise in population in the city of Waukee, in 2018, voters from Waukee voted for a $117 million bond to finance the high school.[4] Development and planning began in 2018 with plans for a sports complex being built right next to the school. The school district would own 100 acres (40 ha) of the planned property, while the city would own 60 acres (24 ha).[5]
