HISTORY

HISTORY

PACT opened in 1994 as a K-7 school with 84 students. In 2003, we built a new building to accommodate our growing student population. In 2023, grades 6-12 moved to a new Secondary campus just 2 miles north of our Elementary location.
LOCATION

LOCATION

Located in Ramsey, Minnesota, family life is valued here. Just 22 miles north of downtown Minneapolis, it’s a growing community with an extensive trail system and access to the Metro and Northstar transportation systems.
NON-SCHOOL FRIDAYS

NON-SCHOOL FRIDAYS

PACT has a 4-day school week policy with roots in our history, and we typically have non-school Fridays! (more like Fri-yay!) Teachers use non-school Fridays for grading, professional development, and team meetings.
SCHOOL SPIRIT

SCHOOL SPIRIT

Black, red, and white, we fight, fight, fight! Home of the Panthers, we celebrate school spirit on the last school day of each week. 
FREE ADMITTANCE

FREE ADMITTANCE

Employees get free admission to campus activities, including sporting and theatre events. It’s a great way to support our students outside of the classroom!
FEWER CONTRACT DAYS

FEWER CONTRACT DAYS

With only 177 contract days, we have fewer than our neighboring districts. Our schedule provides a good work-life balance.
