History
Lake Center was established on September 15, 1947 with 183 students.[4] High school grades were added beginning in 2003 with the first graduating class in 2007, a class of 34 students.[5]
In the summer of 2013 the school began fundraising in order to build the "cafenasium," a multifunctional addition that would serve as a cafeteria and a gymnasium, amongst other things. In May 2016, construction of the project commenced with a groundbreaking ceremony. The project was officially completed in 2020.
