This site was made possible through the diligent work done by retired librarian Zita Stanley. She compiled information and published a book titled “Lakeland High School 1889-1999: A Century of Success”. Click here to see her acknowledgments pertaining to the creation of the book.

From Zita’s publication the Multimedia Communications Academy students took the book and converted it to an electronic form of a the very web site you are on right now. Click here to see information about the digitization of Ms. Stanley’s “Lakeland High School 1889-1999: A Century of Success”.
