SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Dear Lakewood Families,
Welcome to Lakewood Public Schools, Home of the Vikings! Located between Grand Rapids and Lansing, Lakewood Public Schools is a caring community dedicated to educational excellence and promise Every Student, Every Class, Every Day. Our devoted staff is committed to preparing students for success in a supportive and inspiring environment where every child can grow, thrive, and reach their highest potential.
As a community, we strive to Educate, Empower, and Equip our students for life. Our focus is on the whole child, prioritizing both academic excellence and social-emotional well-being. We aim to provide an enriching educational experience that fosters lifelong learning and prepares students to confidently meet the challenges of tomorrow.
In 2020, the Lakewood Board of Education adopted a Strategic Plan that serves as our district’s roadmap, guiding decision-making and resource allocation. This plan focuses on five key areas: academics, culture & learning, personnel & leadership, communication & community engagement, and operations.
Welcome once again to Lakewood Public Schools! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions—I am here to help.
Jodi Duits
Superintendent
