Lakeland Elementary School with Pool

This Rosenwald high school building served as a junior/senior high school from 1928 until 1950, and an elementary school until 1972. Through that time it also served many of the functions of a community recreation center with the county sometimes hosting classes or summer playground programs at the facility. For a short time in the late 1960s to early 1970s there was even a swimming pool erected. For a time swimming lessons were available to the community's children. In addition to county programs the community and school staff hosted other recreation programs. At times University of Maryland affiliated groups also offered programs at the school building.
