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. CATCOM (Center for Advanced Technologies Communications and Original Media), a video production class and club within the CAT program, was created by Mark Granning and Dr. Martin Shapiro in the mid 1990s. 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. Acceptance into the program is competitive, as only about 25 students may participate each year. The school mascot is the Spartan. The school colors are black and gold.
