8th Grade Recognition
8th Grade Families,

Reason For Name Change: Alexander Ramsey, for whom Ramsey Middle School has been named, held offices as a US senator, governor of Minnesota, and mayor of St. Paul from 1855–1875. He was the governor of Minnesota during the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862. During this time, he made statements calling for the killing or removal of the Mdewakanton and Wahpekute Dakota from the state of Minnesota. Students and staff do not believe an individual with such hate for a group of people deserves a middle school named in his honor.
Please connect with Ms. Ekegren if you have any questions. (Alicia.Ekegren@spps.org)
