Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted Public Schools, Independent School District 2687, serves the communities of Winsted, Waverly, and Howard Lake. We are dedicated to providing a high‑quality education for our youth. With that commitment, we strive for excellence and opportunity for each student in every offering and activity of the school district. Serving nearly 1300 students, K‑12, in two elementary schools (K‑2 and 3‑4), a middle school (5‑8), and a high school (9‑12), we offer educational opportunities using a healthy balance between one‑to‑one technology, hands‑on skills, enrichment, and remediation.

We pride ourselves on valuing strong academic achievement, small class sizes, a wide‑variety of programs and activities, new and updated facilities, and supportive communities. Our staff, all the way from the principals, teachers, and paraprofessionals, to our custodians, secretaries, and cooks, make teaching and caring for children, our number one priority.

With two elementary schools to serve our three communities, we set out to establish a solid foundation of core academic instruction. Humphrey Elementary is home to our primary students, serving Kindergarten through second grade students, and also is home to different preschool opportunities. Winsted Elementary is home to our intermediate grade students, serving third and fourth grade students. Winsted also provides preschool opportunities as well.

Keeping class sizes low and supplementing with support staff including paraprofessionals, social workers, SLPs and SLPAs, both Humphrey and Winsted Elementary have created a positive, enriching experience for all our students and families. Much of what we do as elementary schools is established through strong connections made between staff and students. Our staff members really get to know each and every child, and through the use of Nurtured Heart Approach, we make sure that there are adults who look out for the needs of everyone.

Our schools were remodeled and additions were made to both facilities in 2007. Our student population at both schools continues to grow not only in numbers, but in excitement about all the possibilities our schools make into a reality. Honorees of the United States Department of Education's National Blue Ribbon (Humphrey 2012 & Winsted 2013), and recent recipients of MESPA's School of Excellence Award, our elementary schools are top notch!
