Heilicher Students Go to the Polls

November 5th, 2024, marked Election Day in the United States. America’s electorate went to the polls to vote in national, state, and local races. Election Day also marked an exercise in civic education for nearly 131,000 K-12 students as they made their voices heard by participating in Students Voting, a mock election held in over 400 schools across the state of Minnesota

Understanding, Dialogue, and Resilience

This week’s election has stirred a range of emotions across our country, as well as within the Heilicher community. As I shared with our team — at times like these, when feelings can be heightened, our roles as educators and leaders become even more important. Our mission reminds us to foster a nurturing environment that encourages understanding, dialogue, and resilience, and to model those values for our students and each other.

During unsettled times, Heilicher’s size and strong sense of community are true assets. We know our students. We have the time to deliver academic excellence while simultaneously balancing the needs of the whole child.
