Happy New Year from Proctor Hermantown Community Education!

Every class, camp, and event is more than an activity—it is a moment of connection, a spark of creativity, and a reminder of the togetherness and support that define our community. This year, we look forward to opening doors to new opportunities that inspire curiosity across all ages, strengthening the bonds that unite our schools, families, and neighborhoods, and celebrating the pride and spirit that make Proctor and Hermantown extraordinary.

Thank you for walking this journey with us—sharing your time, your talents, and your trust. Together, we create spaces where learning becomes joy and community becomes family. May your 2026 be filled with discovery, laughter, and lasting memories!
