Congratulations Minnesota Connections Academy Graduates

As an assistant principal, graduation time is a particularly rewarding time of year. Unlike many graduates across our state, the students at our school, MTS Minnesota Connections Academy, attend public online. Although their school setting may not be traditional, nearly 125 seniors will soon gather with their peers, families and school faculty to walk across the stage during a traditional graduation ceremony. It is a rite of passage that represents years of hard work put in by students, teachers, parents and administrators. We're proud to offer a quality education that meets the individual needs of students. With it, each will forge their own path. Some will be attending colleges such as the University of Northwestern, Iowa State University, University of Minnesota, Lesley University and North Dakota State University. Some will attend trade schools, while others will join the workforce, military or serve abroad. On behalf of my colleagues, I would like to say how proud we are of each and every one of them for their academic achievements, successes and innovative spirits. Congratulations, Class of 2014!

Sean Cotherman of Minnetonka.
