Welcome from Art Hall,
Head of School
Welcome to Lakehill Preparatory School!
I invite you to explore our site to learn about Lakehill and what it truly means to be a Warrior.
Lakehill provides Dallas K-12 students the limitless opportunities they need to excel, and the rich support they need to keep forging ahead. Our faculty and staff strive to build deep relationships needed to support students during their academic journey.
A Lakehill education is founded on a belief in limitless learning. For students to discover their own path to success, they need the opportunity to try things. From athletics to advanced academics, from independent studies to lead in theater productions, every student is given the freedom to choose their own path.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about what Lakehill has to offer. We hope to see you on campus to experience Lakehill!
Go Warriors,
Art Hall
