The Washington County Highway 12 (75th Street) Improvement Project is happening near our school campus. Please allow extra time to commute to our schools during this time.
We know that the road construction significantly impacts commuting time, and we share your disappointment that the detours and traffic will continue during the school year. We anticipate the detours will continue through September. We have worked with our school transportation department, Washington County Sheriff's Office, and St. Andrew's Lutheran Church to ensure we can do our very best with transportation under these circumstances.
County Highway 12 is closed to eastbound traffic between East/Hallam Ave and the High/Middle School entrance. During this time, northbound County Highway 29 (Hilton Trail) traffic will not be able to travel eastbound on County Highway 12 as it will be westbound only between the High/Middle School entrance and East/Hallam Ave. Click here for the Washington County project website.
Secondary Drop Off/Pick Up: WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE MMS & MHS families who drop off/pick up their children at school to instead drop off and pick up at the lower lot at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church at 110 East Avenue Mahtomedi, MN 55115 (next to the Youth & Sports Center). Students can use the sidewalk or walk through St Andrew’s to get to and from the upper lot (which is walk or bike only) that leads to MMS and MHS. Click here to see the map and visual directions.
This information was shared with families, secondary students, and staff via email and can be read here.
