- Lake Clifton Eastern High School, now referred to as Lake Clifton Campus, was a public high school located in Northeast Baltimore City, Maryland in an area known as Clifton Park, the result of a merger of Lake Clifton High School and Eastern High School.
- History
-
Lake Clifton Eastern High School was built in the 1970s on top of Lake Clifton, a fact which has raised fears that the school may be sinking. It was originally known as simply Lake Clifton High School. The school has an area of , it was stated that when the school opened, it was the largest high school at the time on the East Coast. In 1985, Eastern High School merged with Lake Clifton, and the Baltimore City School Board (part of the Baltimore City Public School System) changed the school's name to reflect this.
- The school was equipped to hold 4800 students. The exact student population for the 2002-2003 school year was 2400. Drop out rates, violence, low test scores and low attendance plagued the school for years.
- In January 1995 an electrical fire destroyed the school's library, cafeteria, and administrative offices. In 1998, a state-of-the-art media center was built at the cost of $4 million.[1] Lake Clifton's library is the newest in the whole city school system.
- Lake Clifton's sports teams (as of the 2002-2003 school year) included wrestling, swimming, track and field, basketball, football, and tennis. Lake Clifton also has an independent theater group, Unchained Talent.
- A decision was made in 2003 by the city school board to split Lake Clifton into a smaller school, a trend that is occurring throughout the city school system with large high schools. With support from the Small Schools Workshop, school faculty members and administrators met and planned new, small, learning communities to open within Lake Clifton. But before the school could complete its restructuring, the board changed plans and decided on new uses for this valuable campus property and scattered the school population to other schools. As of 2005, Lake Clifton contains two small schools, Doris M. Johnson High School #426 and Heritage High School #425. There are ongoing rumors about closing the building and moving the students to save money. The community vigorously opposed such action due to the disruption to the students.
- Layout
-
The layout of Lake Clifton is unique in that it has a central core containing the main office, auditorium, two cafeterias, two gymnasiums, main entrance, media center, and other administrative offices. That central core is connected by bridges to two buildings that each contain a common area which then radiates to four distinct small units with entrances of their own that house the classrooms on a lower basement level, 1st floor and 2nd floor. The units are referred to as A unit, B unit, C unit, and D unit; A and B units are connected on the left side of the central core and C and D units on the right side. The units are identical in their layout and the classroom numbers actually corresponded to what floor the classroom was on. For example, B208 would be a classroom located in B unit on the second floor, B108 would be a classroom in the same unit however on the 1st floor, and B08 would be a classroom located on the basement level. A101, B101, C101 and D101 housed unit school offices with their own administrators in addition to a principal and vice-principal.
