Minnesota State Academy for the Deaf

Today, we welcomed our Minnesota State Academies staff back together for Opening Day as we prepare for another exciting school year!

Opening Day gave our team an opportunity to reconnect, learn together, share important updates, and focus on the work ahead. Most importantly, we came together around our shared commitment to our students and school community.

As we begin the 2026–2027 school year, our motto will guide us every step of the way:

🌟 Achieve. Care. Thrive. Together. 🌟

Here’s to a great year ahead at MSA!

Last week was filled with hands-on learning, exciting field trips, and unforgettable experiences! Our students explored science and anatomy, learned important fire safety skills with the Faribault Fire Department, enjoyed outdoor adventures, visited local parks, and continued building friendships through play, discovery, and teamwork.

At MSAD, ESY is all about keeping students engaged, growing, and having fun all summer long!
