History[edit] The school's first year was 1994-1995 originally in Le Sueur, Minnesota.[2] In 1995 students discovered deformed frogs at a pond at the Ney Nature Center. The frogs were researched by scientists to discover the reason for the deformity. It was never decided was caused the frogs to be deformed.[3] MNCS was moved to Henderson in 1998 with a brand new building. MNCS expanded from 6-12 to k-12 in 2013.
