Extracurriculars

Shine beyond the classroom! 

Minnehaha Academy students don't just excel in the classroom and community. They also shine in the fine arts, athletics, and co-curricular activities. 

We have many award-winning groups and there is something for everyone. A passion or interest is all that's needed to become a member of any team or group.
