Superintendent Nate Fowler | 2021–present

High expectations are established for all students, whose number totals just under 4000, such as having 95% of our general education students achieving grade level or beyond in reading and math. Research-based practices and data analysis, along with a strong focus on staff development, are used to enhance instruction and student achievement.

From our preschool programs through our Freshman Center courses and senior internships, LAS offers opportunities for all students to learn and excel at their own ability levels. Students are our priority!

Within our district's boundaries are four elementary schools which are situated to serve families living north or south of the city of Lowell, as well as within the city limits. Our Middle School and High School are known for high academic standards and innovative programs. In addition, Unity High School offers a personalized alternative setting for grades 9-12. The Wittenbach-Wege Agriscience and Environmental Center provides science instruction and trails within a natural setting.
