Lakeside Lacrosse Club has Successful Season - May 2012
The Lakeside Foundation provided funding support to the Lakeside Lacrosse Club this year. We are very proud of this group of Lakeside students and their coaches.
From the PTSA eblast, May 7 - "The Lakeside Lacrosse Club ended its inaugural season on a high note advancing to the quarterfinals of this weekend's NGLL tournament before losing a tightly contested battle to Cambridge High School 6-3. The young Vikings won their first game of the tournament against Union Grove 11-1 and had the quarterfinal game tied 3-3 in the 3rd quarter before falling behind the older and more experienced Cambridge squad. The Vikings finished the season with a combined record of 12-10.
When the season started, 18 of the 31 players on the team had never picked up a Lacrosse stick. Head Coach Joe Szombathy and Assistant Coach Mike Toce spent significant time with the new team teaching them the basics of the game and by the end of the season, each and every player had made a significant contribution to the program.
The club is open to young men grades 8th-12th and who live in the general Lakeside community. For more information about the club or for anyone who might be interested in playing Lacrosse or learning more about the sport, please refer to www.Lakesidelax.com or contact Michael Kreager at Michael_Kreager@dell.com (404 919-0833).

A little bit about Lakeside...
Lakeside High School, located in Atlanta, Georgia, is part of the DeKalb County School System. LHS students have excelled in both academics and athletics since the school opened in 1965. Many awards and honors have reflected the outstanding dedication to academic and athletic excellence by the students, parents and staff. In 1985, Lakeside was honored as a State and National School of Excellence; an honor which reflects the positive relationship between the school and community.
Over 10,000 alumni have walked the halls of Lakeside High School. Currently, Lakeside has over 1900 Vikings.
In 2005, a group of interested alumni, staff and parents recognized the need to support our community high school through financial and volunteer support. This group formed the Lakeside High School Foundation and received 501(c)(3) status in 2006. We believe that the Lakeside Foundation will serve as a means to support the school and the alumni. The board is made up of alumni, parents of current students and alumni, as well as loyal Lakeside community supporters.
Mission Statement
The Lakeside High School Foundation, Inc., an independent 501(c)(3) corporation, is dedicated to expanding opportunities for students by building and distributing endowments, grants and scholarships to further educational excellence at Lakeside High School - Atlanta, Georgia.
