History

The Lakeland Joint School District was formed in 1948[4] by consolidating 13 smaller districts;[5] In 1962, the high schools in Spirit Lake and Rathdrum were consolidated into the new Lakeland High School in Rathdrum. A new Lakeland campus was constructed in 1979[6] and high enrollment in the district in the 1990s led to the construction of Timberlake.

Athletics

Timberlake competes in athletics in IHSAA Class 3A[2] and is a member of the Intermountain League with Bonners Ferry, Priest River, and Kellogg.
