Hands on Learning at St. Louis Park High School

St. Louis Park High School wants to help students learn better... that's why the school is committed to offering hands-on learning opportunities. Whether it's in business, engineering or any number of classes and after-school activities, kids at SLPHS are able to use their hands while learning important concepts.

When students are engaged in active learning, they're using both sides of their brains. Brain scan studies show more brain activity happening when students think about concepts they learned in a hands-on way. What's more--active learning leads to higher test scores and lower drop-out rates.

Watch this video to learn why district leaders, teachers, community members and students love hands-on learning.

Thanks to producer Paula Engelking, videographer Dave Bissonnette, drone photographer Robb Bucklin and our district video partner Captivate Media.

SLPHS Alumni Never Forgets his School



Kara Mueller, the Career and College Coordinator at St. Louis Park High School, treasures a thank-you letter she received from a grateful alum, Sam Bristlin. Sam, who's had an entrepreneurial spirit since way back in high school, has become a leader in the construction world… despite not having a college degree. Sam, who owns Bristlin Construction Services, decided to gamble on himself, rather than rack up even more student debt. Sam feels he learned more in high school business classes and DECA than he did during his time in college. To show his gratitude, Sam donated VISA gift cards and a generous check to support current students pursuing their dreams. In Sam’s letter, he urged Kara and everyone at SLPHS to keep encouraging students to go into the trades… he knows firsthand how much contractors need good people willing to learn on the job.

Reminder to all students driving to school you must have your parking pass clearly displayed in your vehicle to park in the student parking lot and must park in student designated spots only or you may be towed. The small lot near door 1 and first row next to 33rd street is visitor and staff parking only.  Street parking is available two blocks away from the school if you do not have a school parking permit or if there are no spots due to the lack of spots because of the amount of snow we have.

We have been ticketing and will be towing vehicles parked illegally in the school parking lot.
