ATHLETICS
Jake Sokoll, Lakeland Junior, finished 8th in the state, earning him All State Honors, on March 2nd, 2014 at the MHSAA State Wrestling Tournament. The girls basketball team won its first District Championship since 2004, defeating West Bloomfield 51-48 in an overtime thriller. It truly was one of the more exciting games in recent years. |

ACADEMICS
8 of our BMT3 students represented Lakeland HS at the 2014 Oakland Schools Global Trade Mission (GTM), where they were partnered with other students from around the county, chose a country from one of 5 regions, and selected an entrepreneurial global challenge from 5 high tech and emerging technologies in today's workforce. Working in their teams, our students researched and put together a presentation and business plan to try and secure financial backing from a panel of judges (aka the bank). Their presentations were required to address product success, global finance, supply chain management, and marketing & sales. One student, Chelsea Stone, attended as a second year student, and worked as a "trade analyst" where she provided research and support for students working on the Latin America projects, and then presented on the entire Latin American region.
