Waubonsee Student-Athlete Overcomes Bumps To Succeed
Most professions, hobbies and activities have slang terms that describe aspects of the activity. In baseball, one of the colloquial terms is the ‘bump’ used to describe the pitcher’s mound.

Diversity is Foundational at Waubonsee
Maya Angelou is credited as saying, “It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength. We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all of the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter their color.”
This is certainly true at Waubonsee.
