Lake Park High School is a public, four-year high school occupying two campuses, both located in Roselle, Illinois, a northwestern suburb of Chicago. Freshmen and sophomores attend the East Campus (the original campus built in 1956), located near Medinah and juniors and seniors attend the West Campus. It is part of the Lake Park Community High School District 108. Students from Roselle, Medinah, Bloomingdale, Itasca, Wood Dale, Keeneyville, and Hanover Park attend the school.
The name "Lake Park" is derived from the campuses being between "Lake" Street and Irving "Park" Road. The citizens of northwestern DuPage County founded Lake Park High School District 108 in 1953, and the doors opened at what is now East Campus, 600 South Medinah Road, Roselle, in September 1956 to 320 students. In less than twenty years, the number of students had increased substantially and West Campus was built in 1975. The east campus borders the Medinah Country Club
The school offers 20 Advanced Placement courses, such as: Business Education, Cooperative Education, Family and Consumer Sciences, Industrial Technology, and Fine Arts.
There are 340 teachers.
Lake Park offers a program at the Technical Center of DuPage, more commonly known as TCD, to the upperclassmen. Those young adults take this opportunity to venture out into their field of choice to get hands on experience and receive college credits in the process.
Lake Park has 28 athletic teams, of which there are 13 boys, 11 girls teams and 4 unisex teams that compete in the DuPage Valley Conference and Illinois High School Association.
