Lemon Bay High School (LBHS) is a public high school located in Englewood, Florida. It serves grades nine through twelve and is operated by Charlotte County Public Schools.
Lemon Bay High School serves students from both Charlotte County and Sarasota County because Englewood is split between the two counties.
The school, named for Lemon Bay, which is adjacent to the campus, opened its doors in 1972 as an elementary school. In 1976, the school became a junior-senior high school, serving grades seven through twelve. The school converted to a senior high school following the construction of L.A. Ainger Middle School in 1983.
A major renovation completed in 1987 gave the school a new administration wing, tennis courts, a track, and a larger weight-room, and a community swimming pool was added in 1988. In 1991, an auditorium was added and the media center was remodeled in 1993. The school has a track, football field, baseball field, softball field, tennis courts, weightlifting room, and two gymnasia.
The swimming pool was drained and filled with dirt in 2008. Later that year, the remaining concrete rim of the pool was demolished.
The school was featured in the second season of The Principal's Office, a reality television show on TruTv. Assistant principal Tammy Harvey and dean Jon Arritt appeared on the show.
The school was rebuilt using $80 million from stimulus funds.
Standard English, mathematics, science and history courses are core requirements for all students; these four subjects can also be taken as Advanced Placement or honors level courses. Many elective courses are also available, including television production, drafting, information technology, journalism, Spanish language, and physical education. As with all schools in Florida, Lemon Bay High School is evaluated yearly by the Florida Department of Education based on standardized testing. LBHS has received grades ranging from A to C, earning an A grade for the 2015-16 school year.
