Welcome!What an exciting time to be a part of St. Cloud Area School District 742! Throughout the district you will see evidence of transformation and growth. Probably most visible and top-of-mind are our building projects: Quarryview Education Center, located at the Discovery site in Waite Park, and the new Tech High School, located in south St. Cloud.

Driving by the Quarryview site, you can see clearly the outline of the new facility opening its doors next fall. Staff, families and students eagerly anticipate Quarryview’s debut in 2018!

Ongoing excitement surrounds the Tech project as architects, construction crews, staff and students prepare for our community’s new 21st century high school, scheduled for opening the fall of 2019.

To stay informed on the Tech and Quarryview projects, go to our website at www.isd742.org and follow the updates featured under Quick Links. You will find summaries, photos, videos and presentations. In addition, like our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter.

Speaking of exciting change, there is so much new happening at Community Education this year! District Principal Adam Holm now oversees Community Education and the district Welcome Center. Jennifer Noble is Supervisor of Community Ed Programs and Communications, and Nantha Viswanathan has joined us as our Facilities Scheduling and Volunteer Specialist.

In addition, we welcome Community Education’s winter programming including favorites such as: Aerospace Engineering, Amazing Athletes Training Academy, Introduction to Somali Language for Children and Skyhawks Basketball. Adult Enrichment features fitness programs, wellness and lifestyle classes, plus cooking. Project Challenge boasts new cooking classes, art and creative opportunities and even day trips!

I urge you to take advantage of the many experiences Community Education has to offer. You will find a variety of District 742 classes, activities and programs designed to keep you and your family engaged in learning, social networking, wellness and self-care.

Finally, I want to invite you to the 742 Expo on January 6, 2018 at River’s Edge Convention Center from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. This is an annual celebration of our schools, departments, programs and partners that highlights all the reasons we are 742PROUD. It also launches kindergarten enrollment onsite as well as preschool registration. Come learn about all St. Cloud School District has to offer while enjoying school mascots, photo booth, bouncing activities, police and fire vehicles and more. There will even be a 742 Job Fair with onsite interviews if you are interested in employment. Mark your calendars and join us!
