In Pursuit of Excellence During Minnehaha Academy’s seventieth school year various changes took place at both campuses. A complete program was set up for the 111 students, grades 1-5, welcomed at the Lower School last fall. Mr. Paul Osterland was named Lower School Principal. President Craig Nelson, along with the assistance of Mr. Osterland, selected six Lower School faculty members. Faculty dedication could be seen in their interest in student individualism. The student teacher ratio was 17:1. Coming from diverse backgrounds, the teachers made up a “healthy mix. The Middle School, consisting of grades 6-8, had 388 students during the 1983 school year. Cooperation between schools is important to create a helpful attitude among students. North Campus students often had the opportunity to serve by volunteering at the Lower School. Mr. Osterlund commented on the value of education at Minnehaha, “Minnehaha Academy’s reputation is outstanding, and the Lower School staff and I will do our best to continue this pursuit of excellence.

Quality Education We achieved many goals by sharing in our dedication to excellence. By sharing in respect for our school, we continued to show pride in numerous activities. Devotion of the 681 Upper School students to putting forth programs of superior quality, club participation, and student involvement was evident throughout the 1983 school year. Perseverance in sports was displayed successfully by athletes who diligently trained and exerted themselves. Loyalty, a faithfulness to both friends and academics, existed in and outside of school. Patience and sincerity on the part of the faculty indicated their professional dedication. It takes enthusiasm, perseverance, and loyalty to create quality and a caring attitude to sustain it. We will always have a sense of satisfaction knowing that our belief in quality was much more than a fleeting idea.
