About Hale

Located in the Hale-Field neighborhood of South Minneapolis, Hale values the richness that comes from a diversity of ideas, experiences, beliefs, and backgrounds interacting within our community. 

We take pride in providing open access for all students.

Hale's school community includes ECFE, the Juniors-all day 4 yr old program, Community Education and MPLS Kids before and after school care.

Before the present school was built, children attended a portable school (also called Nathan Hale) between 51st and 52nd Streets and 12th Avenue. When the School was opened in 1930, the community lined the streets as a parade of children (some pulling wagons of books) moved their things into the new building. Additions were added to the building in 1938, 1954, 1974, and 1997.
