Campus

Lake Mary HS was the fourth high school in Seminole County, opening for the 1981â€"82 academic year. The 300,000-square-foot (28,000 m2) physical plant includes an 800-seat Auditorium, 890 seat Cafeteria, 2,200 seat Gymnasium, Media Center, and 13 computer labs. The high school grounds contain a 4,500 seat stadium, lighted baseball field, softball field, track, tennis and handball courts, and an indoor practice building. Since 2002, the campus has undergone a $20 million project involving both new construction and remodeling, funded by a county-wide sales tax. A new 27,000-square-foot (2,500 m2) Auditorium with modern band, chorus, dance and drama facilities opened in July 2003, along with a 6,000 sq ft (560 m2) Multipurpose Fieldhouse. The main building remodeling includes a new Media Center (14,500 sq ft), CCTV studios, additional classrooms, relocation of Administration, and expanded Applied Technology labs. The final phase completed in 200 6 provided practice fields and courts, parking and drainage improvements, (edit: Stadium Locker Rooms are not provided. Locker rooms are located next to the gym and is only used for the stadium during sporting events) and concession space.

In May 2008, the Auditorium was named for Alice Ann Nilsen and Terry Pattishall, retiring choral (23 years) and band (27 years) directors.

Mascot

The ram is the Lake Mary High School mascot. In 2010, Chrysler objected to its corporate ram logo being used without permission. The Seminole County School Board ordered removal of Chrysler's logo from T-shirts, benches, wrestling mats, the school track and gym floor by June 15, 2010. Lake Mary High School responded that it would cost too much to remove the infringing logos, and local Chrysler dealers bore the brunt of local community anger. After discussions, a special agreement by Chrysler allowed Lake Mary High School to continue using the Dodge Ram logo as its athletic mascot, at least until equipment bearing the logo needs replacement. Instead of having to pay for the removal, Lake Mary High School will be a “Chrysler Business Partner” and will promote the relationship. Global Village Concerns (GVC), a branding and marketing services company founded in response to budget cuts impacting schools nationwide, has partnered with Lake Mary High School in Lake Mary, Fla., to cre ate a new school image.

Demographics

Lake Mary HS students are drawn from suburban residential neighborhoods of unincorporated Seminole County, as well as the cities of Longwood and Lake Mary. A small group of students attend from the city of Sanford to improve ethnic diversity, complying with a 1966 "unitary status" plan adopted by the Seminole County School Board to reverse segregation.
