History

The school's first year was 1994-1995 originally in Le Sueur, Minnesota.[2]

In 1995 students discovered deformed frogs at a pond at the Ney Nature Center. The frogs were researched by scientists to discover the reason for the deformity. It was never decided was caused the frogs to be deformed.[3]

MNCS was moved to Henderson in 1998 with a brand new building.
