Graduation

This message is for students and parents/guardians in the Class of 2026 from Andover, Blaine, Champlin Park and Coon Rapids high schools.  

Anoka-Hennepin Schools was informed by the University of Minnesota that they are discontinuing the hosting of high school graduation ceremonies at 3M Arena at Mariucci, starting this spring. With this news, the school district is actively exploring other options for an off-campus ceremony with the goal of identifying a solution as soon as possible. 

This decision impacts a number of high schools in the metro area and this news will be shared in media outlets today and is likely to be a topic of discussion in the school and community. Additional information will be shared from your high school once a new plan for graduation has been finalized.
