Lake Wales High SchoolLake Wales Senior High School was constituted in 1924 and had a total student body of 85 students, five full time faculty members, and one administrator. Today Lake Wales High School is a member of the Lake Wales Charter Schools System which are public schools sponsored by the Polk County School System. The Highlanders presently host over 1300 students, over 90 full time Faculty members and Paraprofessionals, three Guidance Counselors, a Career Specialist, six Administrators, and one School Resource Officer. While our facilities have changed (the original school burned in 1977 and presently houses a community center) and our Faculty and Student population has grown and diversified, our core ideologies remain the same.

Photography Class Feature

By Jeremy Smith | Jan 29, 2010

          Last semester Lake Wales High School added a photography class to our list of fine arts programs. Mr. Moyer, the photography teacher, has made a great effort in the development of this class. He has even started a Photography 2 class this semester. In this class you will learn everything from taking the perfect photo to editing it in Iphoto and photoshop. You will also learn about the development of photography and all of the parts of a camera.

          They have recently added a display case of some of their work in the halls of Lake Wales High School under the word Respect. These photos were taken by Mr. Moyer's first year photography class. Some of these photos are displayed at the bottom of this web page. So when you get the chance, go take a look at some of thier amazing photographs.
