District Office

Crookston Public Schools is committed to excellence in all we do—and that commitment shows up in every classroom, program, and student experience.

We focus on creating an environment that is both challenging and supportive. Our programs are designed to meet students where they are—whether they need additional support, advanced opportunities, or real-world preparation for a rapidly changing future. At the high school level, students can take advantage of Advanced Placement (AP), College in the High School, and PSEO courses. At the elementary level, we provide before- and after-school childcare to support families.

Our work is grounded in clear communication, high expectations, strong relationships, and reliable systems of support. From Early Childhood Family Education and Preschool to college-level coursework, students have access to a broad range of opportunities, including Orchestra, Construction Trades, and Family and Consumer Sciences.

Crookston Public Schools is where students grow, achieve, and prepare for what’s next.
