History:
Lakeland School District was formed by consolidating thirteen smaller school districts in 1949. Spirit Lake and Rathdrum High Schools operated until 1962 when the current Lakeland Junior High School was built to accommodate a ninth through twelfth grade student body of 300 students. The current Lakeland Senior High School facility was first occupied in 1979. Beginning in the fall of 1998, the Lakeland School District once again operated two high schools, with the opening of Timberlake Junior / Senior High School.
