East Union Elementary
Greg Lange, principal
“It is my responsibility to ensure all students achieve their greatest potential by inspiring teachers to promote self-refection and professional growth through teaching and learning which is thought provoking, based upon ‘Best Practices’ in education, and inspires the students to become actively involved in the learning process. The Minnesota School of Excellence program took us on a meaningful analytical endeavor identifying our strengths and areas needing improvement.”
