1990 marks the twentieth year of Mini-School. 1990 also marks another milestone–the retirement of Curtis J. Anderson as Assistant Principal of Minnetonka High School.
Administrators come and administrators go, but C.J. has been the one constant through all 20 years of Mini-School. He helped the program through its early years, he’s criticized the program when it needed it, but through 20 years he’s stood steadfastly behind Mini-School and its people.
Most of the students over the 20 years of Mini-School history have had occasion to get to know C.J. Not all of the meetings have been pleasant. Yet, I’ve never heard a student say that C.J. did not treat him fairly, did not hear him out, did not treat him in anything but a dignified manner. The kids have always known that C.J. has their best interests at heart and wants the best for them.
Thank you, C.J., for all the help over the years. The support, the concern, the care. You’ve been a principal to all the kids.
