Richfield Public Schools, ISD #280
Sheridan Hills Elementary, Joey Page, principal
"Today’s children will face new challenges in an ever-changing
world,
and the knowledge and skills they learn today must prepare them with
the tools they need for future success and to be productive
citizens...The validation of Sheridan Hills as Minnesota School of
Excellence is a
testimony to our strong teaching staff, shared leadership, parent and
community support, and the overall school climate that supports
learning and high-quality instruction.”
Bloomington Public Schools, ISD #271
Hubert Olson Elementary, Paul Meyer, principal
“Educating children is extremely complex. Each child has their own
specific needs and their own personality. I believe in the old adage,
‘It takes a villageto raise a child.’ For many years prior to my
arrival, the Olson community adopted this approach and student success
has followed."
Indian Mounds Elementary, Joan Maland, principal
“Decisions are made every day at Indian Mounds, and with each decision
one question is routinely asked, ‘What is best for the students?’ A
school is in the business of creating life long learners, and we feel
this question is essential to success."
Valley View Elementary, Paul Helberg, principal
"There are so many dedicated teachers, staff and parents who work each
day to help each child reach his or her maximum potential. I am honored
to be a part of such a professional and dedicated learning community.”
Washburn Elementary, Jon Millerhagen, principal
“We now have an entire staff, PTA, and community working toward the
common goal of providing quality opportunities for all students while
answering the question ‘Is it best for kids?’"
