The annual Middle Years Programme (MYP) Personal Project celebration showcased the independent research skills and diversified interests of 10th grade students at Fridley High School. Students chose a topic that they were passionate about, set an achievable goal related to that topic, and developed a deeper level of learning about that topic through independent research. They presented their personal projects using visual displays, demonstrations, websites and slideshows to proud families, staff and students on Wednesday, January 18. 

Thank you to all Fridley Public Schools' paraeducators! Governor Walz has proclaimed the week of January 23-29, 2023 as Paraprofessional Recognition Week in Minnesota. 

The Minnesota School Board Directors of Color and Indigenous (MNSBDOCI) announced Fridley Public Schools Superintendent Kim Hiel as the winner of their annual Lighthouse Award at the annual Minnesota School Board Association (MSBA) Annual Leadership Conference on January 12, 2023. 

Fridley students participated in a simulation of the Minnesota state government at the annual YMCA statewide Youth In Government (YIG) conference held January 5-8. More than a thousand students grades 8-12, including 45 Fridley High School students and 23 Fridley Middle School students, became legislators, lawyers, judges, lobbyists, media representatives, or cabinet members running a state model government in the Capitol Complex.

Students in Fridley High School’s Minnesota Honor Society made a positive difference in the community this past holiday season through a few different volunteer opportunities. 

Congratulations to Traci Brauns, our January Employee of the Month, who works as a paraeducator at Stevenson Elementary.
