Meet Ms. Hendrickson

Hello, my name is Madison Hendrickson and I am the new Career & College Coordinator at Mounds View High School! I grew up right in this community, going to St. Anthony Village High School and graduating from Bethel University. I love working with high school students and my experience has evolved as I have worked in different high schools in the area, all with the mission to help students be the best version of themselves and support them in achieving their goals. When I' m not at work, you can find me coaching girls and boys swim and dive at St. Anthony Village High School, attending one of my family member ' s sporting events, or going for a long run. I am so excited as we work to refresh and revamp our Career & College Center, striving to provide more opportunities and assistance for students as they discover different career pathways, search for colleges, learn how to apply for scholarships and financial aid, and have valuable experiences with career and college professionals. Our goal is to reach out to as many students as we can, advocating for them as they reach for their post-secondary dreams and aspirations.
