Welcome to our school!
The public school system has been an important part of the Lake Mills, Scarville, and Joice communities from their beginnings. The Lake Mills Community School is one campus that houses the elementary, middle, and high school. The district prides itself in providing students with exciting learning opportunities that expand their connection to others locally and across the nation. Students at Lake Mills Community School benefit from small class sizes, one-to-one access to technology, and faculty who are focused on growth. We are so excited to offer our communities a school where our collective effort focuses on teaching and learning for all.

🚍 School Bus Safety Reminder 🚓
A big thank you to our local Police Department for helping keep our students safe by sharing important school bus safety information as kids head back to school!
As buses return to the roads, please remember to slow down, stay alert, and always stop when a school bus has its stop arm extended. A little extra patience can make a big difference in keeping our students safe.
Thank you to our law enforcement partners for helping our community start the school year safely! 💜💛

🍎 Back to School Breakfast at LMCS! 🍎
We kicked off the new school year with our annual Back-to-School Breakfast! It was wonderful to catch up, fuel up, and get ready for our students' return. Thank you to our Board Members and the Lake Mills Chamber Development Corporation for coordinating the food & gift baskets!
A special thank you to LMCS alum Kyle Peterson, who joined us as our guest speaker to share inspiring words, funny memories, and encouragement for the year ahead. Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog! 🐾
We also took time to recognize and celebrate our dedicated staff members reaching Years of Service milestones. Their loyalty, passion, and ongoing commitment to Lake Mills Community Schools are what make our district so special.
Thanks again to everyone who helped organize this morning's event. Let's make this the best school year yet! 🎒✨
