Headmaster's Update
Welcome Back!

It was great to see everybody (teachers, students, and staff members) back in the school building today—rested and ready to tackle the last two months of the school year! I have often said that the school building feels so empty without the students here, and the life that they brought back to our school today was palpable. Seniors are in the last two months of their career here, and they are especially excited to graduate! Welcome back from spring break; please pray for a peaceful remainder of the school year.
COVID-19 Update

A couple weeks ago, we received word from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) that they eliminated their decision tree for schools. With that in mind, we have decided to discontinue COVID-19 updates until further notice.

If necessary in the future we will bring it back, but in the meantime, we will no longer be offering any updates regarding COVID-19 cases in our school.
