It was a valuable opportunity to learn how our choices can impact our long-term health.

The school was rated as “Commendable” on the Iowa School Performance Profiles. This designation reflects our strong academics and commitment to social-emotional learning, with 15 general classrooms and specialized spaces for music, art, special education, and more, our school is built to support every learner.
Located just blocks from downtown Cascade, our school is proud to welcome families from Cascade, Temple Hill, Fillmore, Bernard, and the surrounding areas. 😀

We're proud to cheer on these hardworking student-athletes. Their dedication, teamwork, and Bobcat spirit have carried them to this incredible achievement. Good luck at state—you’ve got this!

Good luck, Hallie!

While following the rules of golf, students use a soccer ball to practice kicking, control, and precision. It’s a great way to build skills while having fun and staying active!





Meet Quentin Nauman, a standout athlete at Western Dubuque High School! 🏃
Quentin recently achieved what few high school runners ever do: he ran under 1:50 in the 800 meters and under 4:00 in the 1600 meters in the same meet. On top of that, he claimed multiple state titles and earned the Gatorade Iowa Boys Track & Field Player of the Year award.
But his story isn’t just about times and medals. It’s about getting better every day, pushing through competition, and setting a standard of excellence for his teammates. We’re proud to highlight Quentin’s journey and the inspiration he’s bringing to our schools. We will be cheering for Quentin as he competes for another state cross country title on Friday!
