Lakeview Centennial High School is a public secondary school located in Garland, Texas, (USA). It enrolls students in grades 9–12 and is a part of the Garland Independent School District.
In 2015, the school was rated "Met Standard" by the Texas Education Agency.
Lakeview Centennial High School opened its doors to more than 1,100 students in August 1976. The two-story structure, a comprehensive high school including college preparatory courses as well as industrial-vocational education, was designed through the combined efforts of students, teachers and administrative personnel assisting the architectural firm of Wright-Rick and Associates. Special features include a planetarium for use by all students in the Garland Independent School District.
Lakeview Centennial High School is now a College and Career Magnet which began in 2001-2002 to students in grades 9-12. Students may apply for one or more of the unique programs - Dual Enrollment, Law and Criminal Justice, and Television Production and Broadcasting, and a Classical Center approach in advanced Latin, piano, and dance.
The school's name derives from two sources: "Lakeview" from its location near Lake Ray Hubbard and "Centennial" as it opened during the American bicentennial year of 1976. The American Revolution theme carries over to the school mascot Patriot Pete and the drill team name, the Yankee Doodle Sweethearts.
The 2009-2010 boys' basketball team reached the state tournament, the first Garland ISD high school team to do so, and finished as runner-up. They repeated as runner-up in 2010-2011.
The College and Career Magnet program at Lakeview Centennial High School is designed to prepare motivated students for entrance into college and for advancement in their chosen careers. Students participate in academic and real-world endeavors, allowing them to grow in knowledge and critical thinking skills.
