Lake Alfred may be getting its first high school.

According to The Ledger of Lakeland, the City Commission has approved a resolution to support adding grades 9 through 12 to Discover Academy, a middle school in the city.

If accepted with Discovery Academy's charter, Discovery High School would give many Lake Alfred students the opportunity to attend high school closer to home.

Carik Fulks, executive director of Discovery Academy, told The Ledger the creation of Discovery Academy would happen one grade level per year. The high school would operate on Discovery Academy property.
