Lakewood High we're proud of thee;
All allied in loyalty;
May thy counsels ever be
Within our memory.
Honors then to Lakewood High
May her fame reach to the sky,
May we always heed her cry
To bravely do or die.
Chorus
Hail to thee! O Lakewood High
Thy dear name uphold;
We shall ne'er forget
The purple and the gold.
Fight on, Lakewood High
Ev'rybody's rooting for you,
Smash right thru that line,
Take that ball right down the field,
Rah, rah, rah.
Roll on toward that goal
Fighting, fighting all the time
We're all for Lakewood High
And we will win this game.
The Lakewood Alumni Foundation maintains three distinct Halls of Fame honoring Distinguished Alumni, Athletes & Coaches, and Lakewood City Schools Staff members. The Lakewood Alumni Foundation Board of Trustees appoints a Hall of Fame Steering Committee comprised of Foundation Trustees and including members of the Halls of Fame. A subcommittee is formed for each Hall of Fame, chaired by a LAF Trustee and comprised of both alumni and current/former staff members. Each subcommittee may advance the names of 5-7 finalists. The Steering Committee will make the final selection and as many as nine individuals will be inducted in a ceremony to be held in the fall.
Nominations must be received by the Lakewood Alumni Foundation by March 1st for consideration for induction in that calendar year. Nominations will be held in perpetuity and additional supporting documents may be added at any time.
