Lakeland High School is a four-year public secondary school in Rathdrum, Idaho, one of two traditional high schools in the Lakeland Joint School District #272 of northern Kootenai County. The current campus opened in 1979 as a senior high school (grades 10–12); the original campus was built in 1962 and became the junior high school. The school colors are green and gold and the mascot is a hawk. Even though Rathdrum is a small city, many people attend Lakeland High School.
As of January 2008, the school enrolled about 800 students in grades 9–12. It serves students from the Rathdrum, Hauser Lake, and Garwood communities, and other nearby areas. The Lakeland Joint School District was formed in 1948 by consolidating 13 smaller districts; the existing high schools in Rathdrum and Spirit Lake to the north operated until the first Lakeland High School opened in 1962. It took 13 years and 14 elections until the funding for LHS was approved by voters in June 1961. The initial school site was deemed inadequate and the present site, now the junior high, was selected in 1962. The district's second high school, Timberlake, opened its doors in 1998 in Spirit Lake.
Lakeland competes in athletics in IHSAA Class 4A, in the Inland Empire League (3A) with Sandpoint to the north and Moscow, about 100 miles (160 km) south. The other high school in the school district, Timberlake, competes in Class 3A.
