Lakeville Area Schools has several construction projects that will benefit our students, staff and community. These projects are being built using 2019 bond referendum dollars and school board-approved lease levy dollars. Please find information on our many exciting projects below.
Details of these projects will be updated throughout the design and construction process.
A new elementary school is coming to Lakeville Area Schools. Officially named Highview Elementary, it will be the district's ninth elementary school. The school was approved by voters in the May 11, 2021 bond referendum to address growing enrollment in the district.
The site for Highview Elementary is 35 acres of land located at 18601 Highview Avenue in Lakeville. The location on Highview Avenue was picked based on its road access, utilities infrastructure locations, and the size of the property. The location is just east of King Park, east of Century Middle School and south of Cherry View Elementary. There are newer neighborhoods close to the site, including some that are still being built and some that are planned to be built in the future.
Construction began in Summer 2022 with a targeted opening date of Fall 2024.
Keep checking back on this page for more information as the project develops.
