- Lakewood High School is a public high school in St. Petersburg, Florida operated by Pinellas County Schools. It opened in 1967 with students previously attending St.Petersburg High and Boca Ciega High.

It is also one of the most highly-funded, due to the Center for Advanced Technologies, a magnet program attached to Lakewood.
