AASA President David Law’s Reflection

How fortunate Minnesota has been to have Minnetonka Superintendent David Law serving as the current President of AASA. Throughout his tenure, Superintendent Law has elevated Minnesota's voice on the national stage, traveling across the country and internationally to share the story of America's public schools and the incredible work educators do each day on behalf of students.

As his term as AASA President comes to a close, President Law offers his reflections on this remarkable experience and the lessons learned along the way.

Thank you, President Law, for your outstanding leadership, service, and unwavering advocacy for public education.

Let’s Celebrate our Graduates with Memorable Pics!

Graduation is one of the most meaningful milestones in a student's journey, and I would love to help celebrate it! Share your favorite graduation photos from across your district so I can highlight the joy, pride, and accomplishments of Minnesota's graduates. Whether it's a cap toss, moving a tassel to the other side, a diploma moment, or a cherished tradition, I would love to feature your pic in next week’s Henton Headlines.

Send your photos to deb.henton@mnasa.org  by noon on Tuesday, June 16.
