About Us

Southern School of Agriculture (1953-1973)
The Southern School of Agriculture, a high school with grades 9 through 12, specialized in agriculture, business, and homemaking, operated six months each in residence and in work experience. The talented and dedicated faculty, staff and nearly 1000 students continue to have a lasting impact in their communities.

University of Minnesota, Waseca (1971-1992)

It also is a forum for everyone to catch up on what our fellow members are doing in their careers.

We need your help! There are currently four openings on the UMW/SSA Alumni Association Board with varying terms of 1-, 2-, and 3-years. If you are interested in carrying on the tradition of UMW/SSA in a more active role contact:
