This morning at our official district kickoff, we had the privilege of recognizing our longstanding employees for their years of service to Lakeshore Public Schools!
These dedicated staff members have given so much of their time, talent, and heart to our students and our district. We are incredibly grateful for their commitment and the difference they make every day.
Thanks to the generous support of the Lakeshore Excellence Foundation through the RAV Program, we were able to show our appreciation for these outstanding employees and celebrate their years of service.
Thank you for being part of the Lakeshore family and for all you do!
It was a great opportunity to hear directly from our students and be reminded of the impact we have on them every day. The connections we make, the support we give, and the way we show up for our students truly matter. We’re so glad our students were part of the morning!
We’re excited to welcome these newest members of the Lakeshore Public Schools team! They’re ready to make a difference, build relationships, and help our youngest Lancers have a great year.

Welcome to Lakeshore!
Lakeshore staff spent time today learning with Dr. Anthony Muhammad, a nationally recognized leader in Professional Learning Communities (PLCs).
The focus was on what matters most: working together, collaborating as teams, and staying focused on student learning and achievement.
Strong schools are built by people who learn from one another and work toward the same goals. We’re excited to keep building that culture at Lakeshore!
Our newest team members spent the morning getting to know their colleagues, learning a little more about Lakeshore, making connections with staff from across the district, and, of course, picking out some Lakeshore spirit gear!
We’re so excited to have them joining our team!
Stay tuned as we introduce our new teachers over the next week. But for now, check out a few pictures from a fun morning of learning, connecting, and showing a little Lakeshore spirit!
Our Food Service Kitchen Managers and PBIS Building-Level Teams are already putting in the work behind the scenes to make sure we’re ready for a GREAT year at Lakeshore Public Schools!
From learning the latest food service trends, regulations, and best practices to building positive school cultures, these teams are making the magic happen before our students even walk through the doors.
We’re so thankful for the people working behind the scenes to make Lakeshore a place where every student can thrive.
The countdown is on… and we’re getting ready!
Lakeshore Public Schools is excited to announce that Ryan Quinn has been named the new Dean of Students at Lakeshore High School.
Ryan has been a valued member of the Lakeshore team for the past five years, serving as a high school science teacher and head wrestling coach. Throughout his time at Lakeshore, Ryan has built strong relationships with students, challenged them to reach their potential, and created a classroom environment where students feel supported and encouraged to succeed.
Beyond the classroom, Ryan has been a leader in our school community. He has served on the Lakeshore Guiding Coalition, contributed to school improvement efforts, and helped strengthen professional learning communities by collaborating with colleagues to improve instruction and support student growth.
Ryan’s commitment to students extends beyond academics. He played an important role in launching Lakeshore’s girls wrestling program in 2024, creating new opportunities for student-athletes while continuing to build a successful wrestling program. Through both education and athletics, Ryan consistently emphasizes perseverance, accountability, and the belief that every student can achieve great things.
“Ryan leads with purpose and genuinely cares about our students,” said Superintendent Greg Eding. “Whether he’s helping a student understand a challenging science concept, mentoring an athlete, or encouraging someone to believe in themselves, Ryan brings energy, perseverance, and a student-first mindset to everything he does.”
As Dean of Students, Ryan will work with students, staff, and families to continue building a positive school culture and support the academic, social, and behavioral success of every Lancer.
“I am extremely grateful to serve our community in this capacity,” said Ryan Quinn. “I will ensure that all students at Lakeshore feel supported during their educational journey. It is an absolute blessing for my family and me to continue making positive impacts for the community we love. Lancer Up!”
Please join us in congratulating Ryan Quinn on this new role!
The 2026-2027 Lakeshore Public Schools Calendar is here! Be sure to save it for important dates, including the first and last days of school, holidays, breaks, half days, and other key events throughout the school year. We look forward to another fantastic year of learning, growth, and community.
Not only are our staff members growing this summer—our students are too!
Summer athletic camps kicked off last week, and it's been great to see our Lancers learning, practicing new skills, and having fun along the way.
One of the best parts has been watching our older students step up as coaches, mentors, and role models for our younger Lancers. They're leading by example, building connections, and helping create positive experiences for everyone involved.
We're proud of the effort, leadership, and enthusiasm we're seeing throughout our summer programs. Keep up the great work, Lancers!
This week, members of our Lakeshore Public Schools staff are participating in TCIS training, learning de-escalation strategies, behavior regulation techniques, and ways to support students through challenging situations.
Their commitment to professional growth helps create safe, supportive learning environments and strengthens positive relationships with students. We appreciate their dedication to learning—even during the summer—to better serve our students and families!
