Lyman High School
Encyclopedia
Lyman High School is a public high school located in Longwood, Florida
, a city located approximately 10 miles north of Orlando
. The school, founded in 1924, has been consistently ranked among the best in the state by the Florida Department of Education
. It was ranked by Newsweek
as the 204th best high school in the United States, thereby ranking as 36th in the state . The school has also been named a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. The school is operated by Seminole County Public Schools
.
. After Seminole County
voted to separate from Orange County
, in 1920, the Lymans and other citizens of the area voted to incorporate the city of Altamonte Springs
. By 1923, it became apparent that the established school houses in the area did not adequately meet the needs of the growing population.
At a board of trustees meeting it was suggested that the cities of Lake Mary
, Longwood
and Altamonte Springs
consolidate and create one school building. Because of its distance from the other two cities, Lake Mary
opted to create its own school, while the cities of Longwood
and Altamonte Springs
consolidated into one school.
Construction of the new school began in 1924. Howard Lyman died a few days before the construction of the school began. In appreciation of his work, the school was named after him. Lyman School opened in September 1924 with Professor Howard Douglas as the principal. By 1926, the school had become an accredited junior high school, and enrolment had increased to a degree where it was necessary to add six rooms to the building. In 1929, Lyman School was accredited through the twelfth grade under the leadership of Mr. W.J. Wells, Jr.
Lyman School was renamed Lyman High School in 1963 when it became an accredited four-year institution under the leadership of Mr. Carlton D. Henley. Three years later, Lyman High School became fully integrated, admitting its first black students in 1966. In 1969, Lyman High School moved to a new campus located less than a mile north of the old one, the latter which temporarily served as a "south campus" until the fall of 1971 when it became the current Milwee Middle School. Henley was primarily responsible for bringing approximately $900,000 in grant money to Lyman High School and Seminole County. Henley also developed one of the most highly technological high schools in the state, instituted the double-period schedule for students, instituted a dropout prevention program, instituted a staff development program for teachers, and provided leadership for the development of the most comprehensive athletic facility of any high school in the state. In 1984, he was named Florida Principal of the Year. Principal Henley retired in 1994 after more than 30 years at the helm of Lyman High School. Entering local politics, he is currently a County Commissioner representing District 4 on the Seminole County Board of County Commissioners.
The end of the Henley years ushered in a new era for Lyman. This included the 75th Anniversary celebration in 1999 with the creation of the Lyman High School Hall of Fame and, in 2000, the creation of the Lyman High School Institute for Engineering.
Within the Institute for Engineering there are five areas of specialization: aerospace
engineering, electrical
engineering, bioengineering, computer modeling and simulation, and architectural
engineering and design. During the freshman year, students in the Institute are required to choose a specialization to pursue for the rest of their high school career.
