"Great City offers fantastic School System, Family Living, Parks and Trails"
I am a proud alumni of the Orono School District. Superintendent, Dr. Karen Orcutt and her team of dedicated educators are committed to providing a welcoming and challenging teaching environment. Recently, the Orono school district was one of three in the country to be named one of the National Schools of Character. It’s the first public school district in Minnesota to get the award. The athletic program is top notch and consistently competes at a very high level.
