     GENERAL INFORMATION:
In the year 1905, the people of Lake Arthur voted upon themselves 
a building tax so that a school coulc be built.  When this school 
was finished in 1906, it was one of the most modern in the state.  
At this time, the school was ungraded.

     In 1921, the brand new three story Lake Arthur school began 
operation.  Back then there were only 11 grades.  In 1947, grade 
12 was added to the curriculum.  In 1976, Lake Arthur High began 
use of new facilities located on 36 acres about 3 miles north of 
Lake Arthur city limits.

    At the present time, the school consists of grades seven through 
twelve and employs a principal, an assistant principal, a guidance 
counselor, two secretaries, twenty-seven full time teachers, a part-
time speech therapist, a part-time adapted P.E. teacher, three teacher-
aides, six cafeteria technicians, four custodians, and ten bus drivers.
  
    Lake Arthur High has gone through several Southern Association 
of Colleges and Schools Evaluations, the most recent conducted during 
1992-1993 school year.  Each time the school has passed in all areas 
and has been granted accredidation.
