Celebrating Excellence Across Central Minnesota

On April 23, 2025, Resource Training & Solutions proudly honored 123 high school seniors at the 38th Annual Students of Excellence Award Banquet, held at the St. Cloud River’s Edge Convention Center. The evening brought together more than 475 guests—including educators, administrators, and proud families—to recognize students from 31 school districts for their academic achievements, leadership, and impact on their schools and communities.

From heartfelt remarks by Executive Director Mark Schmitz and Board Chair Ken Anderson to a night of laughter with Minnesota comedian Tommy Ryman, the event was a memorable celebration of student success. Awards were presented by Sara Paul, Superintendent of North Branch Area Public Schools.
