The first Lakewood High School graduating class was in 1885  from the small ivy-covered building on Warren Road formerly occupied by the Central Office. The high school was then moved into  a new building, called Grant School, just south of the old Rockport Building, where Lakewood High School made its beginning.  In 1903, a high school building was erected across the street  from the former site of the Recreation Department Building. The  present high school was built in 1917 to accommodate 2,000  students. It was filled and in 1926 overflowed into three junior high schools. In 1928, the first swimming pool was constructed.  It has since been replaced by our current natatorium. A building addition, completed in 1970, was necessary because of increased enrollment,  which included bringing the ninth grade to the high school. During the past years, many fine  improvements have been made in the physical plant of the school. These facilities made  possible one of the finest programs of any comprehensive high school. The west wing was  renovated and re-opened for the 2009-2010 school year. The 2017-18 school year saw the  completion of the entire LHS campus and the end of the Phase 3 district-wide building project.  The curriculum is one of the broadest of any school anywhere, offering a wide selection of  courses in technical, career-technical, art, family consumer science, music, and business as  well as the academic fields of English, Science, Mathematics, Languages, and Social Studies.
