Lakewood High School is a public high school in St. Petersburg, Florida operated by Pinellas County Schools. It was created in the early 1960s. As of 2006, due to its 54% minority population, Lakewood High is known as one of the most diverse schools in Pinellas County. It is also one of the most highly-funded, due to the Center for Advanced Technologies, a magnet program attached to Lakewood.

It produces a daily in-house 15 minute news program known as "Fast Forward", as well as award winning segments, known as "FOX ThirTEEN Magazine," for the local Fox affiliate. CATCOM has won numerous Student Emmys for its work. It is home to FOX ThirTEEN Magazine] and Fast Forward.
