Last winter, Park Center Senior High School formed a new sideline cheer team for students interested in a cheer program geared toward cheering at Park Center athletic events rather than cheer competitions, and the program has seen huge success in its first full year.

2026 promises to be a big year for the district’s Building a Better Future projects. Several projects are ongoing at this time, including the new Aspen Ridge Elementary School and Maple Grove and Osseo senior high schools. Two additional projects are slated to begin construction this spring: the former Crest View Elementary and Park Center Senior High.
