Light Up Lakota

Every spring, Lakota hosts an event to allow parents, students, staff and the community at-large to share in the great things happening around Lakota. 

"Light Up Lakota" shines the spotlight on the coursework, classroom lessons, and other school and district programs and initiatives that directly support the four pillars of Lakota’s strategic plan: WE are Personalized; WE are Future Ready; WE are Fiscally Responsible; and WE are In This Together. 

"Light Up Lakota" is the next iteration of Lakota’s former “State of the Schools” tradition. All 23 Lakota schools participate in the school showcase, highlighting a special program at their building.

The event gives the community the opportunity to see firsthand what it looks like and feels like to learn at Lakota. It puts students and staff in the spotlight and gives younger learners the added benefit of seeing what awaits them at the next grade level. 

If you attend one district event all year long, this is the one you want to attend.
