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.

“Will lovely, lively, virginal today
Shatter for us with a wing’s drunken blow
This hard, forgotten lake haunted in snow
By the sheer ice of flocks not flown away!”
—Stéphane Mallarmé (1842–1898)
“Poetry is a matter of life, not just a matter of language.”
—Lucille Clifton (b. 1936)
“And not by eastern windows only,
When daylight comes, comes in the light;
In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly!
But westward, look, the land is bright!”
—Arthur Hugh Clough (1819–1861)
“Norway, too, has noble prospects; and Lapland is remarkable for prodigious noble wild prospects. But, Sir, let me tell you, the noblest prospect which a Scotchman ever sees is the high road that leads him to England!”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“I never went near the Wellesley College chapel in my four years there, but I am still amazed at the amount of Christian charity that school stuck us all with, a kind of glazed politeness in the face of boredom and stupidity. Tolerance, in the worst sense of the word.... How marvelous it would have been to go to a women’s college that encouraged impoliteness, that rewarded aggression, that encouraged argument.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
