Lakeland High School is a public secondary school in Suffolk, Virginia, United States. It opened in September 1990 and originally consisted of students from the four former high schools of John F. Kennedy High School, Forest Glen High School, John Yeates High School, and Suffolk High School.
Lakeland opened its doors to approximately 1800 students. The student population swelled to nearly 2600 students in 2003, and in 2004 a new high school, King's Fork, opened. As a result of the population dropping in the 2004-2005 school year to about 1400 students. However, the following year, the school opened its doors to about 1800 students once again. The current principal of this school is Dr. Thomas Whitley, and the assistant principals, or administrators, are Mr. Douglas Wagoner, Mrs. Brenda Ingram, and Mr. Dale Kittle.
As a result of rezoning, the school district makes up the southern third of Suffolk, encompassing urban and suburban areas in and around the Downtown area, and reaching south and westward into the rural reaches of the City.
