Farmington Area Public Schools

The mission of Farmington Area Public Schools, District 192, is to ensure each learner continuously achieves one’s highest aspirations. To that end, we are continuously evaluating current practices and making improvements for the benefit of our learners. Over the past year, we have carefully considered current school hours and whether or not they are arranged in the best possible way to facilitate student learning at every level. After studying research from the American Academy of Pediatrics and other health organizations we have come to understand that a change to school start times would greatly benefit our learners by engaging them when they are most ready to learn.  

Connections in this community, on this earth, and in space have resulted in an amazing opportunity for local Farmington Area school children and the community to experience a visit from NASA astronaut, Mark Vande Hei. Vande Hei will be in Farmington on February 20-21 to visit with students during the school day at Dodge Middle School, Boeckman Middle School and Farmington High School. Vande Hei will also present a talk, titled Space is Closer than You Think, for the community on February 20 from 5:30-7 p.m. at Farmington High School in the Large Lecture Hall. During the talk Vande Hei will also share mission highlights from his time aboard the International Space Station and his related training. This event is free and open to the public.  

The Board of Education of Farmington Area Public Schools and district administration will be holding a public forum to seek input on desired attributes for the district’s new superintendent. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 11, 2020 at 5:30 p.m. in the Large Lecture Hall at Farmington High School, 20655 Flagstaff Avenue, Farmington, MN 55024.
