Athletics
Lake Forest High School participates in athletics in the Henlopen Conference and is one of the smaller high schools based on enrollment, thereby competing in the Henlopen South.
Football
Lake Forest has a football tradition that dates back to the 1980's when they won several conference championships. They also won the Division II state title in 1995. Lately the football program has not managed to live up to its tradition, but is hoping to turn around under the Head coach Freddie Johnson and his coaching staff. Lake Forest High School has a long standing football rivalry with division rival Milford High School, the yearly Battle of the Bell, which began in 1969. Lake Forest leads the all-time series, just 20 to 19, however Milford has won 4 of the last 5, including a forfeit in 2006 and a 41-0 blowout on November 9, 2007 in the season finale. In 2008, starting only 4 seniors and 6 juniors, the very young spartan team improved to 3-7 and lost to Milford 27-14. Milford later made it to the state championship game
In 2006 Lake Forest High School had to temporarily shut down their varsity football team due to allegations of use of painkillers. Lake Forest forfeited all of their games for that season.
Wrestling
Lake Forest now has a solid wrestling program due to the hard work of Head Coach Josh McDuff. Although he hasn't yet bred a wrestling state champion, his work in the program has the Lake Forest wrestling team building, with a team of over 30 wrestlers.
Cross Country
Lake Forest also has a successful cross country team with a record of 5 wins and 2 losses in the 2007 fall season. Though their top runners are graduating in 2008, the girls team has a strong freshman base.
