This spring, a group of more than 40 MME students gathered together for a day-long leadership training retreat. Students listened to special guest speakers, participated in fun activities and collaborated to discuss their thoughts and identities as young leaders. 

Each year, the Minnetonka School Board sets goals for the school district. The Board’s goals for 2021-22 for Minnetonka Public Schools have focused on maximizing opportunities and ensuring excellence for students academically, socially and emotionally. 

As the school year came to a close, the seniors who chose to participate in the Capstone program presented their projects and learnings at a showcase. The Capstone program is an opportunity given to seniors where student can spend dedicated time at the end of their senior year with off-campus exploration.

After the show's initial run as the MHS spring musical in 2021, it caught the attention of L’Homme Dieu in Alexandria, MN, and the cast was invited to perform it for a second run on their stage only a little over a year later.

More than 700 seniors voluntarily worked on over 80 different projects during the two-day event. The annual tradition gives students the opportunity to spend their final days as a Skipper giving back to the community that supported them throughout their school years. 

“Tonka Prep was created so that we can help break down barriers and open doors to develop leaders, teach invaluable life skills and prepare students for college and beyond,” said Jeff Erickson, Principal at MHS.
