At Home in Leelanau County

Leland Public School is located in northwest lower Michigan's idyllic Leelanau Peninsula encompassing 75 square miles of the most beautiful country in the world. We are a rural, community school located in the heart of the village of Leland on the Lake Michigan shoreline. Our district includes rolling hills and vistas of agricultural land that rival any of the most scenic orchards, vineyards, or farms in France, Italy or the Napa Valley. Our district includes The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, voted as the most beautiful beach in the country and featured in National Geographic Magazine.
