“The public education I received at Washburn High School paved the way for my future success. Excellence in education does not result from just the availability of resources, but rather from the involvement of the community in ensuring an environment that is conducive to producing a well rounded student. Washburn has always stood for excellence in academics, sports and the arts. I believe in the Minneapolis Public School System an in what can be accomplished through an involved community with dedicated students. Not even the sky is the limit.” – Bob Cabana, NASA Astronaut, Director of Kennedy Space Center, Class of 1967
