 Well, for the fifth year in a row, U.S. News and World Report has recognized Bemidji High School, among some of the best schools in Minnesota. Bemidji High School was ranked 53rd in the state of Minnesota and 2,500 and second in the country. The rankings look at high school and college readiness test scores and graduation rates. Bemidji High School credits the students, staff and community for its ongoing success. I don't think it's just the high school award. I think it's a community award. It's our quality education system in our elementary schools, our middle school and obviously our high school. We have a comprehensive curriculum at the high school, offering over 250 courses across 14 departments and we have a quality staff. We have quality students. Bemidji High School was joined on the list by Black Duck Secondary School, which was ranked as the 58th in the state.
