Lemon Bay opened its doors in 1972 as an elementary school. In 1976 Lemon bay became a junior high with grades 7 through 12. In 1983, concurrent with the construction of L.A.Ainger Middle School, grade 7 was phased out with grade 8 being phased out the following year. A major renovation completed in 1987 gave the school a new administration wing. A community swimming pool was added in 1989, and an auditorium and new media center in 1991.
