Superintendent's
Message
Welcome to the L'Anse
Area Schools, home of
the Purple Hornets! Our
school is located in a
rural area of Michigan's
beautiful Upper
Peninsula. We are a K-12
school district which
includes C.J. Sullivan
Elementary School and
the L'Anse Jr/Sr High
School. With an overall
student enrollment of
about 600 students and a
faculty of about 40
teachers, we are small
enough to care and large
enough to offer many
opportunities through a
full and rewarding
curriculum.
Our
District prides itself
on the availability of
up-to-date technology
including having
Chromebooks available to
each student. The use of
technology enables
teachers to
individualize
instruction and opens
new learning experiences
to students. Our school
also houses a modern
public library with a
large variety of books,
magazines, videos and
several computers
available for public
use. An extensive high
school Industrial
Education program
operates in a separate
building with updated
equipment for welding,
wood shop and precision
machining.
The
mission of L'Anse Area
Schools is for students,
staff and families to
work together to develop
individual strengths,
talents and
responsibilities in a
caring, respectful and
safe environment. To
this end, the L'Anse
Area Schools has
developed a highly
skilled and caring
professional and support
staff. Each student is
treated with the respect
and attention needed to
succeed. Extensive
athletic, academic and
other extracurricular
activities are available
to students. These
activities complement
our academic program and
allow students to
increase their sense of
self-worth and inspire
them to achieve
academically.
Our
school is a beehive of
activities with ongoing
school and public
events. Many
opportunities exist for
parental involvement
within our school. Join
us when you can and be a
part of the lives of our
students and children.
Susan Tollefson,
Superintendent
