Philosophy
The LHP Boys Lacrosse program provides our athletes an opportunity to learn the game of lacrosse, improve athleticism, develop character, and enjoy a competitive experience that will prepare them for the collegiate level and life. While our program is highly competitive and we regularly contend for state championships, winning is not our only motivation. We shape young men to become future leaders through their strong character, work ethic, and willingness to serve others. We are confident our players will use these experiences to meet challenges throughout life. 

Success
While the Lake Highland Lacrosse program has earned national recognition and won state championships (2011, 2013, 2014 and 2015) over its short history, our program’s true success has been the relationships built and the sense of family amongst all players and parents both past and present.  The team advanced to the Region Finals in 2021.

Facilities
CNL Stadium
A 1,200-seat outdoor, open-air athletic field, the CNL Stadium is the home to the Highlander Football team, boys and girls Soccer teams, and boys and girls Lacrosse teams. This state-of the-art artificial turf field has sewn-in game lines and is equipped with a scoreboard and video board. The adjacent Yergey Snack shack offers supporters and visitors refreshments during games. 

Lake Highland Athletic Complex (LHAC)
This outdoor natural grass facility encompasses Frontline Field, O’Meara Family Softball Field, six regulation tennis courts, an auxiliary sports field and is the training location for our nationally-acclaimed Archery team. The auxiliary sports field hosts practice sessions for boys and girls lacrosse as well as boys and girls soccer. An integral component of our facilities, the LHAC provides our athletes a first-class practice and game experience.

Dedicated and opened in 2013, the Meffe Family Field House is an integral component of Highlander athletics. Equipped with two full-size locker rooms, an Athletic Training facility, and storage rooms, the Meffe Family Field House provides top-notch hospitality and facilities to Highlanders and visiting teams.
