Kathleen High School (Lakeland, Florida)
- Kathleen High School (Lakeland, Florida)
Kathleen High School was the second high school in the city of Lakeland, Florida, United States, pre-dating Lake Gibson by several decades. It was originally housed north of its present location, at the site of the current Kathleen Middle School. Ray Lewis, Super Bowl MVP with the Baltimore Ravens, is an alumnus, as is Chris Richard, current NBA player on the Minnesota Timberwolves and former center/power forward on the 2006 and 2007 National Champion Florida Gator basketball team. Emmy award winning journalist Forrest Sawyer, formerly of ABC news is also an alumnus. The school's colors, red and white, were chosen when the school formed its first football team: a local farmer donated red jerseys. The mascot, the Red Devil, has occasionally been a source of controversy for some of the community's more outspoken Christian leaders. It is currently the smallest of the city's public high schools, and draws its students from many of the city's poorest areas. However, recent development in the northern part of the city may alter this balance. The school's library features a little-known piece of student art, a red mural painted on a pane of glass in the late 1960s. The first graduation class was in 1962.
