St. Louis Park Public Schools sees, inspires, and empowers each learner to live their brilliance. As the world changes, so must our roadmap for the future.

We’re proud to unveil the 2025–2030 Strategic Plan – a vision shaped by our students, staff, families and community. Together, we’ve created a plan that centers student voice, drives academic excellence, and commits to racially equitable learning at every level.

Check out the new plan and see where we’re headed next!

The learning doesn’t stop in summer!

Today, our Site Implementation Teams are diving into a retreat focused on summer goals and action plans for the 2025–26 school year. They're already bringing our new Strategic Plan and Portrait of a Learner to life!

Juneteenth is June 19, 2025, and commemorates the emancipation of the last enslaved African Americans in the United States.

The Juneteenth Series is presented by St. Louis Park Community Education, St. Louis Park Parks and Recreation, and the St. Louis Park Library. This event series celebrates freedom, resilience, and cultural heritage.

All events are free and open to all ages.

We're already planning for an amazing 2025-26 school year – and we want to help your family start strong!

As you head into summer, take a few minutes to check these important items off your list:
