Minnetonka Mini-School Archives

We the unwilling, led by the unqualified, have been doing the unbelievable for so long, with so little, we now attempt the impossible with nothing. - Mini-School Credo

Barb Sherman

November 1, 1998 by Mini Archives

By Jessica Turner and Kristina Petron

Maybe you’ve seen a tall lady with long curly hair, and an everlasting smile. She’ll be walking through the lunchroom during lunch, or walking through the hallways during break. Most people will mistake her for a teacher but, she is our new principal Barb Sherman. I’ve done an interview with her, and if you’d like to know more about this lady, read on.

Q. Where did you grow up?
A. St. Louis Park, I also went to the University of Minnesota.

Q. Why did you choose Minnetonka?
A. I like the philosophy behind Minnetonka, where it’s going, and the education.

Q. What do you think about Mini-School?
A. I think it’s a great alternative for kids that need something other than a real traditional Minnetonka setting.

Q. If you were a student how would you view yourself?
A. I would look at myself as someone who cares about the school policy, and respects the students and teachers.

Q. What do you think about parking permits being so expensive?
A. I think it’s good because the money goes to paying the parking attendants salary.

Q. What do you think about the construction going on at the school?
A. While school’s going on it’s difficult because of all the obstacles, but I think it’s great.

Q. What do you think is the most important part of your job?
A. Working with students, and helping the students be successful with school.
