Lakewood High
School is dedicated to educating students to become respectful, responsible, and
literate citizens with the skills to contribute to a global community.
Who
We Are Lakewood is a four-year high school
of approximately 780 students that has been fully accredited since 1982. The campus
sits on approximately forty-five acres of rural land that includes a main building
with an auditorium, library, cafeteria, music rooms, computer lab, classrooms,
and office complex. Adjacent buildings house the science, art, special education,
and vocational departments. A greenhouse and four portable classrooms complete
the building site. Physical fitness facilities include a gymnasium, weight room,
baseball and soccer fields, tennis courts, track, cross country course, football
field, and stadium. These
facilities support a full range of activities. Students can select college preparatory
courses including Advanced Placement, college-in-the-high school, vocational/technical
courses offered on site or through the Sno-Isle Skills Center, the Running Start
program with local community colleges, or our alternative education program. Our
Job Skills program provides student training by producing products for the community
and operating the student store. Student
