MOTTO
“Excellence Through Education”
WELCOME TO HLWW
The Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted Independent School District 2687,
serving the communities of Winsted, Waverly, and Howard Lake, is
dedicated to providing the best education for its youth. With that
commitment, we strive for quality in every offering and activity in our
schools.
Our District has financial strength to further improve the learning
environment. In the fall of 2009 the local levy was renewed for a period of
10 years. Through passage of bond levies, new and remodeled facilities
greeted families beginning in the spring of 2008 with a new 9-12 high
school and remodeled elementary schools, and then again in 2015 with a
new middle school.
Besides having outstanding facilities, HLWW has much to be proud of in
regards to academic achievement. Both Humphrey Elementary (2012) and
Winsted Elementary (2013) received the National Blue Ribbon Award for
academic progress and achievement. Both schools offer solid academics,
small class sizes, and an environment that fosters good teacher-student
relationships and allows for individualized attention to students. Our
elementary schools are the best around.

HLWW FFA was named the premier chapter of Minnesota in 2007. An Alternative Learning Program (ALP) is located in
Howard Lake, for students in grades 9-12 to help them reach graduation standards and achieve credits using an online

students to participate. High school extracurricular activities that meet a wide range of interests, include knowledge

club (KLKR). We are proud of our outstanding drama department, which includes an annual fall musical production,
one-act competition, and spring play.
Items offered through Community Education include activities, education, recreation, and special events for birth-5,
youth k-12, and adults. Preschool for 3 to 5-year-olds, located at Humphrey Elementary in Waverly and at Winsted
Elementary, is educational, nurturing, and fun. The curriculum has a focused approach on learning, and a strong
emphasis on literacy skills. School Age Care (SAC) is available for students grades K-6 before and after school and on
non-school days, located at the Middle School and sponsored by Community Ed, providing homework assistance, fun
activities, and convenience for busy families.

our staff creates a learning environment for student success. We are proud of our school district and how we make the
grade for the families of these communities every day. Please contact us at (320) 543-3900 with any questions; or for

HLWW HIGH SCHOOL
Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted High School is the only high school
in District #2687. As a growing comprehensive high school with
approximately 300+ students, HLWWHS has a small family-like feel that is
striving to create mentor-like relationships with all students. We believe
that our size is beneficial to our students as they have opportunities to
gain skills and experiences not available to them in larger schools. We
are always looking for ways to become better so that we can prepare our
students to be successful in their world after they leave HLWWHS. We look
forward to partnering with you during this exciting time in your student’s
life.
Curriculum
HLWWHS has a comprehensive academic curriculum consisting of
over 105 courses. These courses prepare our students for a variety of
post-secondary opportunities that will be available to them upon their
JASON MIX, PRINCIPAL
completion at HLWWHS.
[email protected]
HLWWHS has strong foundational courses in math, science, social studies,
and language arts. All are complemented by a wide array of electives including Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), First
Responder (students earn Minnesota State Certification), CSI in the Classroom (forensic science), Floriculture, Anatomy
and Physiology, World War II, Spanish, Creative Writing, Digital Photography and Design, Web Design and many more.
HLWWHS also provides multiple upper level and advanced courses. College in the Schools (CIS) is provided through
the University of Minnesota (Agriculture and Math) as well as through Ridgewater College (Certified Nursing Assistant).
Advanced Placement courses are offered in Biology, Calculus, English Composition, English Literature, and Psychology.
AP is an open enrollment program available to all 11th and 12th grade students. Honors courses are offered in English
as well. Finally, students can accelerate through the math academic program.
Our partnership with the Wright Technical Center enables juniors and/or seniors to enroll in technical trades programs
such as: Automotive Technology, Construction Trades, Cosmetology, Early Childhood and Elementary Careers, Graphic
Arts, Health/Science Technology, Law Enforcement, Welding, and Project Lead the Way. Students participating in these
programs have the opportunity to earn articulated credits through local colleges.
Technology
HLWWHS has fully implemented 1 to 1 technology through the use of Chromebooks. The program uses digital
curriculum materials, student collaboration tools, and individualized instruction in all subject areas with the goal of
enhancing student learning. Our high school is equipped with additional technology including SMART Boards and
state of the art wireless Internet access. We continue to work to provide our students the skills they will need for their
future.
College and Career Readiness
In collaboration with the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities, HLWWHS has
implemented the Ramp Up to Readiness TM advisory program. Ramp-Up to
ReadinessTM is a school-wide advisory program that features an engaging and
interactive series of activities designed to help all students graduate from high
school ready for postsecondary and career success.
A series of weekly advisory activities at each grade level are designed to engage
students in interactive learning that not only provides them information about
college and career readiness, but also challenges them to think about their own
engagement and decision-making about their postsecondary and career plans.
Through this program, we work to ensure that students are preparing for a life
outside high school through the process of preparing a post-secondary plan which
helps with course selection aligned to student goals and future plans.

school year. We consider every opportunity a potential
partnership; a chance to service the needs of the schools,
as well as the communities at large. We see ourselves as
an integral part of every community with whom we form a
relationship, supplying a variety of critical services that allow
administrators to focus on the education of their students.
We are here to support and enhance HLWW Public Schools and to provide our specialized skills in the transportation
area. Please visit our website, www.fourpointo.com, for information about 4.0 School Services; and feel free to contact
the transportation office with any other questions.
