Dear Northfield Public Schools Families:

We have entered the final stretch of the 2024-25 school year! The excitement that accompanies the end-of-the-year activities can be felt throughout our schools and community.

Congratulations to the Class of 2025! There will be 318 new Northfield High School alumni as we celebrate commencement on Sunday, June 1. Thanks to KYMN radio and Northfield Live for broadcasting the event.

The Area Learning Center will celebrate 45 graduates on May 30. The ALC graduation is one of the most moving ceremonies in our district, rooted in the deep bonds that form during students’ time at the school.

Once again, the district is grateful for your trust in us to educate your children. It is a privilege to prepare every one of your students for lifelong success by developing critical thinkers who are curious and ready to engage in our society.

Enjoy the energy that accompanies the last days of the school year! As always, please contact me with any questions or feedback about the district.

Sincerely,

Matt
