Minnetonka Schools has announced the award honorees for the 2025 Celebration of Excellence awards, an annual districtwide awards program that honors several outstanding teachers, staff and community volunteers. This year’s event is Thursday, May 15 from 6-8:30PM at the Arts Center at Minnetonka High School.

Technology is integral to our District’s learning and work, and our IT team ensures all computers, iPads, internet services, programs and other technologies are accessible and functional for our community.

According to the Minnesota Schools Social Workers Association, "School Social Workers are licensed mental health professionals and practitioners who provide interventions, consult and collaborate with educational staff, students, parents, and community resources in areas that impact student learning."

"We wanted to shake things up and do something special for I Love to Read Month," said Jennifer Smasal, Principal at Excelsior Elementary. "What better way to celebrate than getting books into kids' hands while having a blast?" 

Minnetonka High School students and staff are navigating the daily schedule a bit more easily this year, thanks to the hard work and creativity of a couple of students in the high school’s Computer Science club.

Students practiced inquiry and learned different problem-solving methods to create solutions for real-world challenges.

Since 2016, Minnetonka Research has provided unparalleled opportunities for students to dive deeper into advanced studies, following questions connected to their passions and interests. One student, junior Milan Darji ‘26, has had a “full circle experience” with the program.
