Lawton Chiles Middle
Academy is fortunate to be housed in a beautiful old building
with valued local history. Our building was built in
1927 as Lakeland High School. In fact, our school is
named after our former Governor Lawton Chiles, who graduated
from this school in 1948.
After
Lakeland High School built a new campus, Lakeland Junior
High School was housed in our building, and then Polk Opportunity
School. This building is now the site of L.C.M.A. We
strive to keep the past alive while we look forward to the
future.
