St. Marys Catholic School
421 Hawthorne, Alexandria, MN 56308
(320) 763-5861 Website: smsa.stclouddiocese.org
Principal: Troy Sladek
St. Mary's is a community of Faith developed by parents, staff, and students to provide an
educational setting where each child can develop a strong sense of self-worth and positive
attitude toward sharing and group associations. We commit to providing a positive atmos-
phere where Catholic Christian values are taught, modeled and practiced, giving each child
the freedom and direction to develop his/her personal worth and uniqueness. Our curriculum
responds to the needs of the total child; spiritual, emotional, intellectual, social and physical.
New Testament Christian School
2505 Hwy. 29 North, Alexandria, MN 56308
(320) 763-4050 Website: newtestamentchristianschool.org
Principal/Administrator: Leslie Shjerve
New Testament is dedicated to providing the best possible education to students in all
three areas of their being: physical, mental and spiritual. A family's influence on a child's
spiritual growth is the mainstay of the child's relationship with Christ. The staff encour-
ages and supplements that relationship. If a child comes with a concern or need, we
pray for that child before and after school, or in a classroom setting. The Bible says,
"Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from
it." We are excited to be a part of that training.

After 154 years, the wait is almost over.
Were proud to be Minnesotas rst legal whiskey distillery. And we cant think
of a better place to make the nest tasting whiskey and spirits.
Lush golden corn. Crisp clear water. Rich golden wheat.
While youre relaxing by the lake, well use the wealth of
natural resources in our backyard to craft the nest
distilled spirits this state has ever seen.
Its about time.
