Superintendent's Welcome

Welcome to Mahtomedi Public Schools! 

We have a lot to be proud of in our district. Our students achieve amazing things and set a high standard for excellence. Mahtomedi Public Schools equips every one of our students with a world-class education through meaningful and rigorous learning experiences that support them to think critically and creatively, ignite their passions, and impact their community. Through our holistic, community approach, we prepare confident learners to thrive today and in their future.

What makes Mahtomedi Public Schools truly great, however, is what happens in our classrooms every day. Our educators are continuously discovering and creating innovative and impactful learning experiences for our students. Our staff surrounds students with the joy and excitement of learning while supporting each child's personal growth and success.

There is no other school community like Mahtomedi. Our families, community residents, and partners provide an exceptional spirit, energy, and investment in our schools. Our unique community is also evident in our belief that Zephyrs are “part of something bigger” and we strive to create a community of learners that draw from and learn from each other in a way that makes each of us better and more fulfilled. 

We hope you get to know more about our school community that is dedicated to excellence at every level, every day. Whether you are looking for an exceptional education for your child, a great place to work, or a way to try something new as a lifelong learner, Mahtomedi is here to provide the opportunity to discover, explore, grow, and thrive.
