History
The district was formed in September 1921. The first school was built that year at the northwest corner of West Columbia Avenue and Highland Avenue. The district is named after Goguac Lake. The first class graduated from that school in 1924. A new high school opened on Woodrow Avenue in 1943.
Lakeview Middle School opened in the fall of 1961 as the district's high school. The architect was Guido A. Binda and Associates. The building had a fallout shelter that could hold 1,200 people. It was located in the basement under the cafeteria. The shelter had separate systems for electricity and water in case of a nuclear attack. As of 2021, the fallout shelter was being used as a weight room and cafeteria.
The current Lakeview High School opened in January 2006. The architect was BETA Design Group.
