Brand and Logo Guidelines

The Lakota Local Schools brand serves as a visual and symbolic expression of our educational experience, mission, reputation and pride. Each element, from the carefully chosen colors to the meticulously designed logo, conveys a story of excellence, dedication and community. These guidelines are designed to maintain the strength and consistency of our brand, ensuring that every communication, whether internal or external, reflects the high standards and values we uphold.

Our brand is a reflection of our commitment to providing a top-tier education, fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment and preparing our students for a successful future. It encapsulates the trust and respect we have earned from our community, the pride we take in our achievements and the unwavering dedication to our mission of providing a personalized, future-ready, student-centered learning experience for every single child.

By adhering to the brand guidelines, we reinforce our collective identity and ensure that every interaction with our brand — whether through a website, letterhead, a sports uniform or a social media post — resonates with the same level of professionalism and excellence that defines Lakota Local Schools. It is through this consistent representation that we build a stronger, more recognizable brand; one that continues to inspire confidence, loyalty and pride in our students, staff and community.
