Hibbing Community Education

Our Mission:

Learning is a lifelong activity. To help everyone continue their learning, Hibbing School District’s Community Education program offers expanded programs and enrichment classes for citizens of all ages.

Community Education is a unique educational concept that believes education is a lifelong process. Everyone in the community—individuals, businesses, public and private agencies—shares responsibility for the mission of educating all members of the community. Community Education serves as a connection to other agencies and activities by creating partnerships and opportunities for citizen involvement.
