Lakeland School Corporation will educate and prepare ALL students for career and life success. We embrace this mission on a daily basis. Beginning with a nurturing, growth-focused elementary school experience, we position our students on the path to success. In middle school, our students work to understand the world through authentic learning experiences, building on the foundations set in elementary school. They begin to bridge their solid knowledge base and start to explore content at deeper levels in an energetic environment. At the high school, students gain extensive experience in collaboration, problem-solving, and written and oral communication, and develop the work ethic that will take them beyond graduation. This is combined with a strong focus on Project and Problem Based Learning. Opportunities for specialized programs in Project Lead the Way Engineering and Project Lead the Way Biomedical, specialized career training at IMPACT Institute, Advanced Placement courses with college level dual credit opportunities, exciting internship and community service learning placements, and a wide variety of elective courses in business, agriculture, communications, and human services allow our students to explore any learning opportunities that they wish to experience. 

From the moment your son or daughter enters kindergarten, to the day he or she receives a diploma, we are here as your partners to help them grow. The support of the LaGrange County community is evident at every grade level. And, with one-to-one access to technology, the world is at your child’s fingertips.

I am honored to be a part of a team whose focus each and every day is to help each and every child learn, grow, and find success.
