Lakota East High School is a high school in the Lakota Local School District which comprises both West Chester Township and Liberty Township in the suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio. The high school serves students in ninth through twelfth grades. The school sits on two separate campuses. Freshman attend school in the freshman building located on Bethany Road and the tenth through twelfth grade students attend school at the Lakota East Senior Building located off Cincinnati-Dayton Road.
History[]
Along with Lakota West High School, Lakota East was part of a unified Lakota High School. The two physically identical schools were built in 1997 when severe over-crowding forced the district to expand. The two high schools have an inter-district rivalry in sports, particularly in football. The annual East/West football game usually draws large crowds, is usually televised, and is alternately hosted by each school except in 2017 when the game was held at Lakota West High School for two consecutive years. In 2009, the Lakota freshman building was split and a brand new building was made for Lakota East freshman. The Lakota freshman building became Lakota West freshman building.
