Celebrating Dr. Peterson's 21 Years with Minnetonka Schools

Parents, students, staff and community members joined together on June 1 to celebrate Superintendent Dr. Dennis Peterson’s 21 years of service with Minnetonka Public Schools, as well as more than 50 years as a superintendent. The retirement celebration included a reception followed by a program honoring Dr. Peterson’s impact and legacy. Dr. Peterson will retire at the end of June.

One way to thank Dr. Peterson for his 21 years of service to Minnetonka Schools is to contribute to the scholarship fund he started years ago, which supports a graduating Minnetonka senior every year to support their pursuit of higher education. To give to the Dennis Peterson Scholarship Fund for Excellence and Achievement, please visit this link.
