Congratulations Graduates of Minnesota Connections Academy

As a school counselor, graduation time is an especially rewarding time of year. Unlike many graduates throughout Minnesota, the students at our school, MTS Minnesota Connections Academy, attend public school virtually. And even though our school setting is non-traditional, nearly 125 Connections Academy seniors will soon come together with their families, peers and school faculty to walk across the stage during a traditional graduation ceremony. This wonderful rite of passage represents years of hard work by students, teachers, parents and administrators. We're proud that we offer a quality education that meets the individual needs of our students. As such, each student will forge their own path. Some will be attending colleges such as the Iowa State University, University of Minnesota, University of Northwestern, Lesley University and North Dakota State University. Some will attend trade schools, while others will join the workforce, military or serve abroad. We are so proud of each and every one of our graduates for their successes, academic achievements and determination. Congratulations, Class of 2014!
