Superintendent KEITH HOWELL

Welcome to the Superintendent's page.

As I reflect upon my first year serving L’Anse Creuse Public Schools, I want to thank our students, staff, families, and community members for the partnership, honesty, and collaboration you have shown. This year has been centered on listening, learning, and building relationships across every building and department. Those conversations have shaped a deeper understanding of both our strengths and the areas where we can continue to grow.

Over the past year, we have made steady progress. We launched important bond-funded upgrades to improve safety, infrastructure, and modernize our facilities. We strengthened our focus on curriculum and instruction, including clearer use of student data to guide classroom support. We also worked to improve communication with more consistent updates to families and staff. I have valued the chance to meet with staff in every building, hear from families, and learn directly from students about what matters most to them. 

L’Anse Creuse Public Schools is dedicated to the process of continuous improvement. Our schools are strengthening how we support students by developing and implementing multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) for both academics and behavior. This approach ensures that every K–12 student receives the right level of support at the right time. It begins in the classroom with strong, research-based instruction and positive behavior practices for all students and expands to small-group or individualized supports when needed. By using data to understand student needs and adjusting support accordingly, our schools can proactively address challenges, reduce barriers to learning, and help every student grow academically and socially.

As we step into the year ahead, our work continues with a clear set of priorities. We will remain focused on long-term financial stability and responsible resource management so that we can protect strong learning experiences for all students. Through the district’s continuous improvement process, we will continue strengthening literacy and math outcomes by aligning interventions and closely monitoring student progress. We will also expand our work around safety and well-being, including ongoing training, updates to emergency response systems, and continued support for character education, PBIS, and bully-prevention programs. These efforts reflect our commitment to safe, supportive, and modern learning environments where students feel connected and ready to learn.

LCPS has a strong foundation, and we will keep moving forward with care, transparency, and purpose. I invite you to explore our website to learn more about the work happening across the district, including timelines for bond improvements and district goals. You will also find a wide range of Community Education programs for youth and adults, from recreation and enrichment classes to fitness opportunities and senior programs.

Thank you for your continued support of L’Anse Creuse Public Schools. It is an honor to serve this community, and I look forward to all we will accomplish together.
