Proud to partner with Catalyst for Systems Change and grateful for the support of #MDE in providing our students the opportunity to address an issue that impacts far too many young people. Through student voices & the unleashing of their creativity, meaningful change is possible.

Where education meets creativity.🎶📚
Tony Simmons, leader of the High School for Recording Arts and a 2021 Yass Prize Semifinalist, is blending academics with music and real-world experience. By giving students the tools to express themselves and build careers, he’s proving that education can be as innovative as the students it serves.
This #BlackHistoryMonth, we celebrate leaders like @tonyminnieapple who are expanding opportunities and reimagining what’s possible in education. #EducationInnovation @HSRA_MN
