History

Lake County led the state with the first county high school in 1900, when the court voted to establish a high school in Tiptonville, which would be free to all students in the county. The $7,500.00 needed to build the school was raised by public subscription. The two-story brick building was built on Church Street on what is now used as the cemetery. An annex was added for the elementary grades.

In 1925, a new school with both room for high and elementary school was built on Cherry Street. It hosted a large auditorium and under it a large room where the first hot lunch program was started by the P.T.A. in the late 1930s.

In 1963, a consolidated high school was built in Tiptonville to accommodate students from Tiptonville and Ridgely High Schools and later Lincoln High School. Mr. Ellis Truett was the first principal of Lake County High School and guided it through the early years of consolidation and integration. In 1967, the first black students entered LCHS.

Lake County High School is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
