Lake Hiawatha Elementary School

Lake Hiawatha School offers a developmentally-appropriate instructional program that supports the academic, social, and emotional needs of our preschool through fifth grade students. Working in partnership with caring families and our talented staff, LHS is a vibrant and nurturing community where learners are valued, celebrated, and encouraged to reach their full potential.

Schools are places that help students make sense of the world around them. Talking to students about issues like racism and protest can be difficult even in the best of times when we are actually with our students and not just looking at them through screens. Nonetheless, these are important conversations and important times. Should you wish, here are a few resources to assist in speaking with your children about these issues.
