SCHOOL

The Mission of North Lakes Academy is to graduate students who are confident, skilled scholars and citizens. Our expectation is that students and teachers excel in core academic and artistic disciplines, develop a sense of purpose and path, and value a united community built through appreciation of diversity.

Since 1999, North Lakes Academy has provided a personalized learning environment designed to meet a wide variety of academic needs. With strong core subjects and a full complement of liberal arts courses, NLA provides quality learning in a responsive learning atmosphere.  In 2008, NLA was granted approval from the state of Minnesota to expand to serve students in grades 5-12. The first graduating class was the class of 2011.

North Lakes Academy is one of the oldest charter schools in Minnesota, one of the last teacher-run school boards in the United States, and one of only a few education options in a large land-area district on the border between suburban and rural Minnesota.

School Overview:

Henry Sibley High School serves students and families from the communities of Eagan, Inver Grove Heights, Lilydale, Mendota, Mendota Heights, Sunfish Lake, and West St. Paul.  The student body is highly diverse racially, linguistically, and socioeconomically.  With approximately 1500 students, it is large enough to offer a comprehensive and rigorous program of academics and activities and small enough to have a strong sense of community and personalization.  Indeed, as the only high school in the district, the broader community takes a lot of pride in the school and provides tremendous support.  Further, the tight-knit staff holds high expectations for all students as well as provide supports for student success.

The school is in the midst of change with a multi-year construction project, the renaming of the school, and a stronger focus on equity aligned to the district’s strategic framework.

This is an excellent opportunity for an equity-focused leader who works collaboratively with staff, students, and families to build a strong, inclusive community within the school and beyond its walls dedicated to high achievement for all.
