Lake Wales High School is a high school located in Lake Wales, Florida, serving the city of Lake Wales and nearby communities such as Frostproof, Dundee, and Winter Haven, Florida. It is part of Lake Wales Charter Schools.

History

[edit]

Lake Wales served white students only until 1968, when Federally mandated integration required the school to take in 260 black students from Roosevelt High School, which was then repurposed as a junior high school.[2]
