How was Minnesota North Star Academy’s name chosen?
When the preliminary proposal to the Center for School Change was accepted, the school needed a name. Shortly before meeting with the Center for School Change review committee, two Metro Deaf School teachers led a discussion about potential names for the school with a group of middle school students. They came up with several names, and “North Star School” got top vote. After some investigating, the existence of another North Star School was discovered, so the name was changed to “Minnesota North Star Academy”.
