Come and see how your investment has come to life

Forest Lake area residents are invited to a public open house event celebrating our district’s newly renovated school buildings. Three years ago, voters approved funding for a multi-year, multi-building renovation project to provide modern, safe school facilities so that students could have a better environment for learning. Over half of the project has already been completed, and the district is opening our doors to the public as an opportunity to visit our buildings and see the product of their investment.

Five district school buildings will be open on Sept. 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.: Forest Lake Area High School, Forest Lake Area Middle School, Columbus Elementary, Lino Lakes Elementary STEM School and Scandia Elementary IB World School.

For those who wish to visit more than one site, a guided bus tour will be available. The bus will leave from the Forest Lake City Center parking lot at 10:00 a.m. for a tour that will include stops Forest Lake Area High School, Forest Lake Area Middle School and Columbus Elementary.
