Century Elementary is located in Park Rapids, Minnesota, near the headwaters of the mighty Mississippi River. Century School opened in the fall of 2001, and houses approximately 1300 students in grades k-8.  The school is separated into an elementary school (grades k-4) and middle school (grades 5 - 8). Each grade level is located in its own pod, so students enjoy a comfortable "small-school atmosphere" in a large and well-designed building. The teaching staff of Century School is caring, nurturing, professional and very active in the community.

A Letter from our Principal

Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,

Welcome to another wonderful year of teaching and learning at Park Rapids Century School!  We are excited about joining with you to provide a quality education for your child as we challenge all children to be the best they can be. 

The student/parent handbook outlines many of our school goals and rules.  It is intended to address many of the situations that may arise during the next nine months.  Two of the basic messages are to respect others and take responsibility for oneself.  Please take time to review this handbook with your son/daughter to reflect upon these expectations.

As we begin a new school year, let us reflect upon the mission of District 309. The mission is to work together to prepare today's learners for tomorrow's challenges through:  sharing of ideas and acceptance of diversity, efficient use of resources, including staff, finances, curriculum, physical plant, technology and area wide support services, thereby providing for maximum academic and personal growth.

It is our goal to provide the best possible educational opportunities for your child.  If you have any concerns or would like to visit about your child(ren), please do not hesitate to stop by our school.  You may call the teachers or myself at 237-6220 at any time or email me at jdelahunt@parkrapids.k12.mn.us.

Park Rapids Century School is educating tomorrow’s future… one child at a time.  Come join us and see the future at a glance.

Sincerely,

Joleen De La Hunt
Century School Principal
