For Current Students and Families

The next step in the registration process for current School District 197 middle school students is to spend the day at Two Rivers High School on Tuesday, November 25. 

During their time at the high school, they will:

  • Learn about the high school registration process

  • Receive their academic planning guide and worksheets

  • Tour the high school and learn about  elective course opportunities

  • Eat lunch in the cafeteria

  • Attend an activity fair where they will learn about all of the clubs, activities and sports offered at Two Rivers. 

For Prospective Students and Families

We’d like to welcome you to Two Rivers! As your family begins exploring high school options, we hope you’ll take some time to get to know what makes our school such a supportive, high-achieving, and welcoming place for students. Registration for the 2026–27 school year opens December 8 and it's encouraged to register by early January. We’re here to help you learn more as you plan for this next big step!

Two Rivers offers a high-achieving, close-knit community grounded in strong academics and caring relationships. Some of the highlights families appreciate most include:

  • Two Rivers ranks in the top 5% of high schools in Minnesota based on academic performance and access to college-level learning

  • 155+ courses in 14 subject areas are offered plus college-level courses such as College in the Schools (CIS), Post- secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO)
  • 50+ clubs, sports teams and activities provide opportunities for every student to become involved
  • A diverse and inclusive school community representing more than 50 home languages
  • A “just right” size: Big enough for opportunities, small enough that every student is known

If your student will be entering high school in 2026–27, we invite you to visit our website and explore the 2026-27 academic planning guide to learn more.
