"I student taught at Bagley Public Schools and knew I wanted to return and work within the district one day. I am blessed to be afforded the opportunity to work at Bagley Public Schools and watch as a parent as my own children grow here as learners. The staff are wonderful and caring people. I am proud to serve our community each and every day."
Mrs. Sarah Larson
Curriculum & Instruction Coach
I am proud to say that this is my 25th year of teaching at the Bagley School District! I love our school and the small community in which we live! Not only did my husband and I both graduate from Bagley, both of our daughters have as well. Our school has always had a number of extra-curricular opportunities for students to participate in whether it is sports, academics, or the arts. Our daughters were able to take several classes in high school that counted as college credits. This saved them nearly a whole year of college expenses! I am thankful to be a part of our school staff, and to have taught so many students who have each touched my heart in a special way.
