“I love that Minnewaska Area Schools is working hard to individualize the education for each student to challenge them where they're at. And our administrators and staff are top notch!”

“I have discovered my likes, dislikes, explored and expressed my talents, given my opinions, and have found myself as a person here at Minnewaska.”

I came to Minnewaska as a 7th grader and felt immediately welcomed by the students and staff. The students, teachers, and staff are kind, understanding, caring, and considerate. In the moment it will seem like they're being hard on you, but all they are trying to do is prepare you for the future and to help you improve on your academic skills. Not only are they always there to support you academically and athletically, but they are there for you personally. I know that if I need to discuss a personal matter I can go to a staff member. I trust the advice that they offer and I feel confident that our conversation will be confidential. There are also a variety of activities to choose from if you're looking to be involved. By participating, I have met so many other amazing students and have gotten to be close with some of the staff here at Minnewaska.

“Minnewaska Area Schools is special because of the wonderful people that are part of our communities, caring staff, and awesome students!”

Growing up and attending school in our community as well as being part of Minnewaska Area Schools basically since it inception gives me a unique perspective of what it's like to be part of this great school district. Our teaching staff is exceptional and at the top of their field which makes the connection between students and staff a formula for success and high achievement. It's a dream come true arriving at our beautiful facility everyday to work with our great students and caring staff.
