Lakewood High School is a public secondary school located in the Southern California city of Lakewood. Founded in 1954, it is part of the Long Beach Unified School District. This school is one of the best in the district with some of the highest average of SAT9 State Testing scores; beating out Polytechnic High School and CAMS. They served 1770 sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Lakewood is the architectural twin of nearby Millikan, which opened in 1956. The school mascot is the Lancer and their colors are red and white. The school secondary mascot is the Dragon and their secondary color is black. Lakewood High School's motto is "Today's lancer, Tomorrow's leaders." It has such notoriety as being the campus which hosted the nationally exposed Lakewood Spur Posse during the early 1990s, until March 18, 1993, when it came to national attention. The film The Rage: Carrie 2 (released 1999) emulates the Lakewood Spur Posse.
Football: Lakewood plays in the Harry J. Moore League, against rivals Long Beach Poly, Mayfair, and Millikan. The team is led by coach Thadd MacNeal. The lancers play their home games at "John Ford Stadium". The Lancers are usually competitive, as they usually post winning records. From 1966 to 1969, Lakewood won 3 Moore League championships, including an 11-1 record in 1966.
Notable alumni include Billy Belman, whose efforts helped the Lancers achieve a 9-0 season in 1988. This record helped the Lancers win the divisional championship.
Baseball: Lakewood's baseball team is one of the most consistent programs in California, with 27 Moore League titles as of 2006. The 2006 season saw the team win the CIF Southern Section Division I Championship, the fifth in the history of the program, against Agoura High School, winning 2-1 at Angel Stadium. The team is lead by coach Spud O'Neil.
