Our Mission

Together with our families and community, Lakeville Area Schools provides educational opportunities to ensure academic, social, civic, and personal readiness for every student.

Our Vision

To provide a safe, respectful, engaging, rigorous, and collaborative learning environment for all students, families and staff where every person belongs, is valued, and can succeed.

During the 2021-22 school year, Lakeville Area Schools launched a comprehensive strategic planning process. The overall process and strategic plan was created with input from Lakeville Area Schools students, staff, families and community members focused on future system-wide improvements to improve outcomes for students. 

Based on the work of the District's new strategic plan, the following core values were established. 

• Students First: Student needs drive our decisions and actions.
• Excellence: High expectations for all with everything we do.
• Collaboration: Working together for common goals.
• Integrity: Being honest and authentic in every interaction.
• Responsible: Individually and collectively we are good stewards of our resources.

Beginning in the 2022-23 school year, the Board of Education and the Administration have aligned system-wide work to ensure the following goals and our vision will be achieved for our students. 

Core Goal #1: Improve our teaching and learning practices and processes to increase student achievement.
