We are proud to recognize our newest Friend of Education award recipient, the Orthopedic & Fracture Clinic (OFC).

Through their generous partnership, OFC provides dedicated athletic trainers to both Mankato East and Mankato West High Schools at no cost to the district. From injury prevention to on-field care, these trusted professionals play an essential role in keeping our student-athletes safe, healthy, and performing at their best all year long.

We are deeply grateful for OFC’s continued investment in the health, safety, and confidence of our students, families, and coaches.

Please join us in celebrating this recognition and thanking our dedicated OFC trainers:
Mankato East: Amy Bond & Johnny Murillo
Mankato West: Mallory Korver & Dylan Ward

Thank you, OFC, for being a true Friend of Education and making such a meaningful difference in our school communities.
