Academic Credentials of Minneapolis Public Schools

Elementary School Principals

 

There are forty-one elementary schools in the Minneapolis Public Schools.  These schools are typically categorized as either community schools or magnet schools.  Most MPS elementary schools enroll  students in grades preK-5 or K-5.  Exceptions are the Lake Harriet and Lake Nokomis campuses, which feature two closely associated schools, one for students in grades preK-2, the other for students in grades 3-5.

 

Below find the degrees and certifications for those occupying positions as MPS elementary school principals.
