Schools

Tucked into the rolling hills of Pope County, Lake Minnewaska is truly one of the jewels of West Central Minnesota. Surrounding the lake are historic communities each with a rich heritage, unique identity, and hard working residents.  The children of the area are entrusted to the caring staff and administrators of the Minnewaska Area School District.
