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.
Lake Mills Schools will be closed on Monday, March 16, due to snow and hazardous secondary road conditions ❄️ ... See MoreSee Less

✈️ 5th Grade Bulldogs on an Epic Expedition! 🌲
Our 5th graders recently tackled an incredible project-based learning challenge: planning the ultimate National Park trip to 3 different parks!
This wasn't just daydreaming. These students did massive research to plan every single aspect of their adventure. They booked (mock) flights and rental cars, built complete packing lists, created meal plans, and meticulously calculated all travel expenses. They had to make real budgeting decisions! 💡
They capped off the project by creating engaging slideshows (like the one pictured!) to share their journeys with the class. We are so proud of the critical thinking, math, and research skills they demonstrated. The only thing left is to actually go!

There is some wonderful collaboration happening at Lake Mills! 🤝
Our students in Mr. Eekhoff’s and Ms. Christianson’s classes are hard at work printing these custom Mr. P shirts to raise money for our new weight room.
It's a great day to be a Bulldog when our students use their skills to give back to our athletic programs. Check out the photo of the crew in action and get your order in soon! 🐾📈 $10 per shirt
