Redmond, Wash. – The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) announced this week that one additional Lake Washington School District (LWSD) student will receive a National Merit College-Sponsored Scholarship:
Kevin Zhang, Nikola Tesla STEM High School - National Merit Purdue University Scholarship
A group of freshman from Nikola Tesla STEM High School is helping kids with Cerebral Palsy move around a little easier. As part of their end of year project, this team partnered with a program by the name of Go Baby Go
Dozens of LWSD students earned their way to the 2021 International Career Development Conference (ICDC), which was held virtually in late April and early May. Of that group, about 30 students competed as finalists and two students placed as high as third.
Each student will graduate prepared to lead a rewarding and responsible life as a contributing member of our community and greater society.
To prepare our students we believe that all students must have opportunities to learn a rich curriculum in inclusive classrooms.
Learn more about LWSD's Focus on Students
To continue growing as an organization, everyone must have access to learning opportunities that encourage ongoing growth and development.
These programs are designed to meet the learning styles and needs of students with superior intellectual, academic, and creative abilities.
Special education is not a “place:” rather, it is a set of services. The district’s goal is to partner with families regarding the individual needs of children.
Career and technical education (CTE) courses and programs help prepare students for a wide range of post-secondary high demand, skill, and wage opportunities.
Provides leadership for standards-based teaching and assessing to increase student access and engagement, close achievement and opportunity gaps, and support student learning and success.
To be the best school district in the world, we are committed to high quality implementation of practices that produce positive change and sustainable transformation.
To engage our community, our district must be focused on strong partnerships, outstanding service and clear communication.

Students and their families are integral to the success of sustainability initiatives in our district. They also played an important role during the Washington Green Strides Tour.
