The Lafayette School Corporation family shares a vision of creating a culture that nurtures the promise of our children.

Our mission is to nurture, inspire, and empower all children to learn, hope, dream, appreciate, create, innovate, integrate, excel, and contribute.

Toward that end the LSC is organized to provide an unusually broad range of curricular and extra-curricular programs of exceptional quality. Graduates are admitted to and are graduated from some of the most prestigious colleges, universities, conservatories, and academies in America. Excellent programs in all areas of study prepare students for the work place, for additional technical training or for directly entering the work force upon graduation. Special education and gifted and talented programs provide a continuum of services for all areas of exceptionality.

The district is home to an extraordinarily talented team of 7,300 students and 1,200 staff housed in eight elementary schools, one middle school, one junior high school, and one high school. The school district has a storied reputation as one of the premier school districts in the State of Indiana. Jefferson High School has twice been recognized by the United States Department of Education as a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. In addition, middle and elementary schools within the school corporation have received a number of regional and state awards. Students have earned dozens of state championships as well as a number of regional and national honors in academics, the arts, athletics, and other extra-curricular activities.

The faculty of the school district are exceptionally well educated and dedicated to teaching and learning. Two percent of the teaching faculty have earned doctoral degrees. Two percent have been awarded educational specialist degrees. A clear majority of our faculty have earned a Masters degree. The vast majority of faculty who have completed their Masters continue to seek additional education.

The school district enjoys the support of our community as evidenced by the facilities made available to students. Community members and visitors are invited to visit schools. The Lafayette School Corporation is an excellent place to learn.
