History

In June 2022, it was announced by the school board of the Kenosha Unified School District that they have approved the relocation of LakeView to the former location of the Chrysler plant in Kenosha. The new location will provide improved accessibility from the previous location. There will also be new facilities constructed on the property for the use of Gateway Technical College students in Kenosha.[5]
