Lake Clifton Eastern High School (LCEHS), currently and officially the Lake Clifton Campus (LCC), originally Lake Clifton High School (LCHS), although locally Lake or Lake Clifton (LC) for short, was a four-year, public high school located at 2801 Saint Lo Drive in the northeast area known as Clifton Park of Baltimore City, Maryland, U.S.A.
Founded in the early 1970s, the school was named after the Lake Clifton Reservoir before it was changed in 1985. At that time, Lake Clifton High School combined with Eastern High School to reflect the merger. At the conclusion of the 2004—2005 school year, the large school was recommended for closure and as of 2010 it is a campus comprising two smaller secondary schools, Heritage High School and the REACH! Partnership School.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Poetry is a matter of life, not just a matter of language.”

The star-led Wizards haste with odours sweet . . .”

—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
