Letter from the Principal
I am delighted to serve the Minnehaha Academy community as Interim Middle School Principal. When I was asked to assume this position Oct. 16, I became excited for the opportunity to be working in the education piece of Minnehaha again with the students, teachers and parents. The Middle School is a wonderful place for students and I am thrilled to be here. I feel the energy and enthusiasm as a I walk through the halls and visit classrooms. I am still amazed by the beauty and functionality of our newly remodeled building. As you click through these pages, you'll find that there is so much more to our school than excellent facilities. We have a remarkable community that allows our school to be a place where students excel, grow and feel a sense of belonging.

I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you.

Please feel free to contact me at any time.

Warmly,
Kathy Johnson, Ed.D.
Interim Middle School Principal
