Dear Parents, Students and Friends of Sobriety High,
As you know the school year is upon us once again. We wish to welcome you back to Sobriety High. School begins on September 7th. This year in order to better prepare and educate our students, we have consolidated our four campuses into two. The two campuses, Burnsville and Coon Rapids, are ready and prepared to educate your students. Each campus is fully staffed with teachers from all core subject areas who are excited and ready for the tasks at hand.
Sobriety High has had many changes in recent months, and we truly believe these changes will benefit all families and students. We wish to offer a farewell to Barb Wornson who has left Sobriety High and accepted a new directorship position at a performing arts charter school. Our Interim Executive Director, Paul McGlynn, has begun his new position and is taking on each new challenge with great leadership.
Both campuses this year will be extending the school day to provide 360 minutes of instructional time for students. Each campus will continue to have a director. Amy Berentson is the Campus Director at Coon Rapids and Sarah May is the Campus Director at the Burnsville school. Burnsville’s new school hours, beginning September 7th, are 8:20 am to 3:20 pm; and, Coon Rapids school hours for the year will be from 8:00 am to 2:40 pm.
The Burnsville campus will be hosting an Open House on Tuesday, August 31st from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm for their new and returning families and students at the school location of 12156 Nicollet Avenue, Burnsville, MN 55337. We are expecting a return of many students and the enrollment of many new students as well.
Welcome back to the 2010/2011 school year of Sobriety High. We are excited for the new school year and hope your students are ready to return and ready to learn.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to assist you. Once again, welcome back, and we look forward to providing your child an excellent education.
Respectfully Yours,
Paul McGlynn
Interim Executive Director

“Sobriety High gave me a place to learn how to live… a place where I could laugh, smile, and grow. Five years since graduation, my best friends are the people I met at Sobriety High. I never imagined a school could be a supportive, friendly, and fun place to…find a life worth living.”
- Mike – a graduate
