A MESSAGE FROM:

Lakewood High School

2025-2026

Lakewood High is a large, comprehensive high school in the Jefferson County School District R-1. Lakewood has a strong tradition of community support and the student population comes from a wide variety of ethnic, academic, economic, and geographic backgrounds. More specifically, Lakewood is often ?misunderstood? due to its unique student population. Over half of the students who attend Lakewood choice enroll for the academic excellence it offers in both the IB and AP programs, and it also has t… he largest at-risk population among all of the high schools in the county. The LHS faculty and staff work closely with students and welcome the personal interactions that occur on a daily basis. Many of the faculty hold Master?s degrees in their fields of study and continually seek ways to keep themselves current in both content and pedagogy. Our educational team consists of 93 teachers, 7 school administrators including a dean of students, 8 guidance counselors (1 of which specializes in transitioning 9th grade students), a JCMH counselor, a bilingual family-community liaison, 2.5 mental health providers, a 504 coordinator, a Reading Interventionist, 2.5 technology specialists, and 1 library- media specialist. At LHS, students have the opportunity to enroll in a variety of academic classes including Honors courses, Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, Career and Technical Education, ESL, and other diverse offerings through our electives. In addition to our Special Education department we also house an SSN program. School spirit is paramount at Lakewood. The majority of our students participate in one or more club/activity or in our 23 athletics offered, some at the same time. Most of our coaches and activity sponsors work in the high school and are able to further connect with student athletes. Our goal this year is to continue to improve the post secondary and college readiness among all groups of students by working to engage them through authentic learning experiences and to implement additional measures to engage them with the learning community at Lakewood High School.
