At Austin Public Schools, our mission is to inspire, empower, and accelerate every one of our learners, and we know that the only way for us to reach this goal is through the efforts of all our incredibly hard-working staff.

In this week’s Staff Spotlight, we’re highlighting Austin High School AFNR teacher Christina Ebeling.

"Mrs. Ebeling deserves to be recognized because she always shows that she cares about her students. She's a great teacher who never puts anyone down, is a figure people look to for guidance, and she adapts her teaching based on the students and class. She will always work with you and try her hardest, and she's really open minded and makes conversation easy."

Congratulations!

If you’d like to nominate an outstanding Austin Public Schools staff member for our weekly Staff Spotlight, please take a moment to fill out the form at https://www.austin.k12.mn.us/district-resources/aps-staff-spotlight. It only takes a minute and can truly make someone’s day. Thanks!

Planning for the future starts now!
Yesterday, juniors and seniors attended a presentation on the Hormel Foundation Austin Assurance Scholarship, which provides funding for up to 65 credits at Riverland Community College. Students learned about eligibility requirements, scholarship benefits, volunteer expectations, and how to properly track volunteer hours. In case you missed it, you can check your student email for a copy of the presentation.
We encourage students and families to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. For more information about this scholarship or other scholarship resources, contact Jane Carlson Bumgarner in the AHS Career Center.
