Lakeville North High School (LNHS) is a public high school in northern Lakeville, Minnesota. Formerly Lakeville High School, LNHS received its current name when a second high school, Lakeville South High School, was built. Grades 9-12 attend the school, and its principal is Marne Berkvam.
The school is a member of Minnesota Independent School District 194 (Lakeville Area Public Schools), and is affiliated with the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL). The school is a member of the South Suburban Conference (Minnesota). During the 2009-10 school year, Lakeville North High School was recognized with the Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence by the United States Department of Education, the highest award an American school can receive.
The current Lakeville North High School was completed in 1993, designed by Wold Architects and Engineers, it is known to have a somewhat unusual design. With three floors total, the situation of the building on the site gives the classroom wing three levels while the rest of the building only has two. The classroom wing is a rough rectangular shape with the Media Center and support spaces located in the middle and symmetrical classroom spaces on either side. Lab spaces are located on the front (east) portion of the wing while smaller classroom spaces are located in the center and near the back (west) portion. The Classroom wing is connected to the main building by 4 "bridges" that include bathrooms and locker bays. The bridges lead into the 2 story commons space used for student dining and other community events. The commons allows access to administration offices, the gymnasiums, music and industrial tech wings, and the auditorium, making it the center of the buildings design. One major noticeable design feature of the commons space is the large radius curtain wall on the east side and the stair stepped ceiling leading to each side of the space, giving it an open and airy feeling.
The industrial tech and performing arts area of the school is located in the northern portion directly off the commons. Lakeville North offers metals classes while Lakeville South offers woods. The auditorium is circular in overall shape with approximately 600 soft seats. Acoustic effects are achieved through stair stepped walls and the sloped ceiling and seating layout. Entrances are located on both the second and third floors while handicapped seating is available on the second floor portion. A complete sound, lighting, and a backstage fly system complete this space.
