District

Every Child, Every Day is our intentional commitment to creating a safe and inclusive culture and community where we:

• Prioritize instruction
• Foster meaningful relationships
• Value and empower each learner
• Create growth opportunities for all

Thank you for your interest in the Walled Lake Consolidated School District.  Walled Lake has distinguished itself as being on the "cutting edge" instructionally and technologically. Significant gains in student achievement, continued implementation of state-of-the-art technology, staff commitment, and supportive and involved parents and community members keep the Walled Lake Consolidated School District in its leadership role. Simply, we are here for every child, every day.

We are proud of our three comprehensive high schools in which an increased number of high school students take Advanced Placement classes and tests, and our test scores continue to exceed State and county averages.

We know our parents and community members’ involvement in our schools makes a difference. Our PTSA Council annually hosts the largest Reflections program ever with record numbers of students participating and many students receiving State recognition.

Skyward Family Access®, a powerful parent/school communication tool, Illuminate®, a data analysis program for staff, and other technology-based systems have been institutionalized in Walled Lake Schools. “Spice It Up,” an annual technology conference with multiple sessions, is attended by hundreds of our educators and this event provides a venue for staff members to be leaders in the use of technology in the classroom.

As it has been for the past 20 years, the majority of funding for Walled Lake Schools comes from the State, based on the number of students we are serving. Despite having to make millions of dollars in reductions in recent years, Walled Lake Schools and its students enjoy many successes.

 The Walled Lake Schools’ community:

• Supports its 19 schools. For four consecutive elections (2012, 2013, 2014 & 2019), the community supported local funding for Walled Lake Schools including a $316 million bond for Building, Infrastructure & Equity initiatives.
• Walks the talk with 80 percent of our staff earning advanced degrees.
• Boasts the three award-winning high school marching bands that annually rank as the best in the state and nation.The WLC band participated in the Macy’s Day Parade in New York City on Thanksgiving Day, while the WLN band participated in the London New Year's Day Parade in London, England. In 2020 both WLC & WLN will perform at Disney World in Florida.
• Communicates with parents on a daily basis via social media, (Twitter - @WalledLkSchools, Facebook – www.facebook.com/wlcsd, Instagram - www.instagram.com/walledlkschools and at YouTube – www.youtube.com/walledlkschools) and sends weekly WLCSD Parent Updates.
• Shares our resources with the entire community. The District hosts a “Pink Out” football game each year to support those battling all cancers raising thousands of dollars each year. As well our schools help the local food bank, Hospitality House, and more than 20 charities including the Salvation Army Bed & Bread Club, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the Ronald McDonald House of Detroit, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, St. Baldrick’s, the American Heart Association, and others.

These are only the highlights. Our students and staff earn many scholarships, awards, accolades, and milestones. I invite you to visit the District website at www.wlcsd.org and social media, to take a closer look at how we consider 'every child, every day' in Walled Lake Schools.

We look forward to serving you. For more information, please contact any school or our Community Relations Office at 248-956-2018.
