City of Arden Hills – 2030 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved: September 28, 2009 <br />13-11 <br /> <br />Opened in 1969, the Arden Hills Library is located at 1941 County Road E-2, which is <br />near the intersection of County Road E2 and New Brighton Road. In 2008, the library <br />had more than 81,000 items in its collection. The library is part of the Ramsey County <br />Library system, which includes six other libraries. <br /> <br />While discussions about the future of the Arden Hills Library are ongoing, the City has a <br />stated goal to keep a library facility within the City limits. As development occurs on <br />TCAAP, relocating the library to TCAAP or somewhere else in Arden Hills may be a <br />possibility. <br /> <br />13.9 PUBLIC SCHOOLS <br /> <br />Almost all of Arden Hills is in the Mounds View School District (ISD 621); however, a <br />small area in the southern part of Arden Hills is within the Roseville School District (ISD <br />623). Two of the eleven Mounds View School District buildings are located in Arden <br />Hills: the Mounds View High School at 1900 Lake Valentine Road and Valentine <br />Elementary at 1770 West County Road E2. The Mounds View School is also a partner <br />in the joint maintenance facility used by the City and Ramsey County. <br /> <br />The Mounds View School District is one of the highest rated school districts in the state <br />and is a valued organization in the community. In addition to serving Arden Hills, the <br />Mounds View School District also serves all or part of the cities of Blaine, Mounds View, <br />New Brighton, Roseville, Shoreview, North Oaks, Spring Lake Park, and Vadnais <br />Heights as well as White Bear Township. As of October 2007, the district had <br />approximately 9,700 students and was the fourteenth largest school district in the State. <br />The district is anticipating declining enrollment, and no new educational facilities are <br />planned. While future development on the TCAAP property may add students to the <br />school system, those students would likely just offset other declines. <br /> <br />The Roseville School District has 10 buildings; however, none of them are located in <br />Arden Hills. In addition to serving Arden Hills, the district also includes all or parts of the <br />cities of Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, Little Canada, Maplewood, Roseville, and <br />Shoreview. <br /> <br />13.10 HIGHER EDUCATION <br /> <br />While not technically a public service, Arden Hills is home to two private higher <br />education institutions, Bethel University and Northwestern College. Bethel University is <br />located south of Interstate 694 and is on the shoreline of Lake Valentine. The <br />University has a long range Master Plan and future expansion on the campus is <br />expected.
