What is Community Education?

Our mission is to support the educational, social, and recreational needs of each community through lifelong learning opportunities for all ages and abilities.

Proctor and Hermantown Community Education, Proctor Public Schools, and Hermantown Community Schools, service more than 24,000 residents combined. Proctor and Hermantown Community Education proudly serve all ages, from the youngest of learners to adults and senior citizens.

Grounded in the core values of lifelong learning and citizen involvement, the Community Education Department is an integral component of Proctor Public Schools and Hermantown Community Schools. Proctor and Hermantown Community Education provides opportunities for local citizens, schools, agencies, businesses, and institutions to become active participants in the educational system. Learning extends beyond the K-12 setting, therefore through the development of strong partnerships and Community Education, each district is able to extend formal and informal learning opportunities to each community at large.

Proctor and Hermantown Community Education provides lifelong learning opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. We provide community-driven learning and enrichment opportunities. Each component of Community Education strives to provide a wide variety of learner-centered programs and services for learning, recreation, and community involvement. Community Education focuses on building skills, promoting health and well-being, supporting student achievement, and creating community.

Community Education also schedules and operates district facilities before and after school hours, on weekends, holidays, and during the summer. Proctor Public Schools and Hermantown Community Schools are proud to engage with communities that value collaboration and partnership to ensure school facility use and community resources are maximized through facility usage and cooperative programming.
