Lake Mary High School - Campus

Campus

Lake Mary HS was the fourth high school in Seminole County, opening for the 1981-1982 academic year. The 300,000-square-foot (28,000 m2) physical plant includes an 800 seat Auditorium, 890 seat Cafeteria, 2,200 seat Gymnasium, Media Center, and 13 computer labs. The high school grounds contain a 4,500 seat stadium, lighted baseball field, softball field, track, tennis and handball courts, and an indoor practice building. Since 2002, the campus has undergone a $20 million dollar project involving both new construction and remodeling, funded by a county-wide sales tax. A new 27,000-square-foot (2,500 m2) Auditorium with modern band, chorus, dance and drama facilities opened in July 2003, along with a 6,000 sq ft (560 m2) Multipurpose Fieldhouse. The main building remodeling includes a new Media Center (14,500 sq ft), CCTV studios, additional classrooms, relocation of Administration, and expanded Applied Technology labs. The final phase completed in 2006 provided practice fields and courts, parking and drainage improvements, (edit: Stadium Locker Rooms are not provided. Locker rooms are located next to the gym and is only used for the stadium during sporting events) and concession space.

In May 2008, the Auditorium was named for Alice Ann Nilsen and Terry Pattishall, retiring choral (23 years) and band (27 years) directors.
