Cedar Mountain Schools

What Cedar Mountain Schools does

Cedar Mountain Schools (legal name: Independent School District No. 2754) is a public K-12 school district headquartered in Morgan, Minnesota, serving students from the communities of Morgan and Franklin. The district operates two campuses: Cedar Mountain Middle School / High School in Morgan (grades 6–12, hours 8:10 AM–3:20 PM) and Cedar Mountain Elementary School in Franklin (grades K–5, hours 8:30 AM–3:10 PM), with administrative offices co-located at the District Office in Morgan.

The district provides a standard public education curriculum augmented by Special Education services, an American Indian Education Department, College and Career Readiness Resources, the "Cougar Pride" Positive Behavior program, and an E-Learning Plan for inclement weather days. Athletics are organized through the Tomahawk Conference. Operational technology is non-proprietary: the Infinite Campus student information system handles grades, attendance, and lunch accounts with a parent/student portal; the school website runs on WordPress; athletics scheduling uses GoBound; and crisis response follows the ALICE program. Auxiliary services include Child Care, Community Education, and Facility Use programs.

The district is governed by an elected school board under the authority of the State of Minnesota and is funded through a combination of state aid, local property tax levies, and federal education grants. There is no commercial revenue model; education is provided tuition-free to district residents. The 2026–2031 Strategic Plan was approved in February 2026, and a Community Advisory Committee has been established to support implementation.
