The ACGC Class of 2026 is full of amazing young people! Today’s spotlight is Seth Carlson who plans to attend the University of Northwestern, St. Paul.
His favorite high school memory was the east coast trip. He also says that Mr. Hagstrom made an impact on him because “ he gave me a chance and approached me with kindness and openness to my ideas.”
His advice to others is to “Use every opportunity to your advantage, but with that, use every other opportunity to benefit those around you. Without the help that you got from someone else, you wouldn’t be in the position you are now, so push forward with that mindset and blessing to help others!”
Great advice Seth!

The Living Wax Museum is a three-month, immersive, project-based learning experience where 6th grade students are able to explore Minnesota history in a deeply personal and creative way. As part of the assignment, each student selects a significant Minnesota historical figure or event tied to a birth year or key moment, and then spends weeks researching, writing, designing, and preparing to truly embody that moment in history.

We are quickly approaching the end of the 2025-26 school year so it’s time to spotlight and celebrate the ACGC Class of 2026! We asked our seniors a few questions and will be featuring their answers on social media.
Let’s get things started with Sophia Iverson! She says that Mr. Hagstrom is a teacher that impacted her and that her favorite high school memories are being involved in sports, playing volleyball and being a wrestling manager.
Her advice to younger Falcons is “Work hard and do things for yourself, don’t let others make choices for you!”
She plans to attend Ridgewater College for nursing next year.
We are proud of you!
