• History & Memorable Moments

Lathrop High School was originally named Fairbanks High School which was discontinued in October 1955. Lathrop still awards an "F" to its letterman (as opposed to an "L" for Lathrop) to represent its roots as the original "Fairbanks High School." The 1975-1976 school year at Lathrop was also double shifted with one shift of students attending school from 6 a.m. to noon and the other shift attending from noon to 6 p.m. The next year West Valley High School was opened thus alleviating the overcrowding dilemma.^[1]

Lathrop High School is a public high school in Fairbanks in the U.S. State of Alaska, part of the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District. It is named for early Alaska businessman Austin E. "Cap" Lathrop. 2005-2006 principal Mario Gatto recently left for Ben Eielson Junior/Senior High School. The current principal is Karen Gaborik. The school mascot is the malemute, and the school colors are purple and gold. Lathrop is the largest high school in Fairbanks.
