Lely High School is a four-year public high school located in Lely Resort, Collier County, Florida, about 10 miles (16 km) southeast of Downtown Naples.
The school serves Naples Manor, Marco Island, Lely, Verona Walk, and some unincorporated areas of Collier County. The school is a part of the District School Board of Collier County. Lely's Feeder Schools are East Naples Middle, Manatee Middle, and Marco Island Charter Middle.




History


Lely High School opened its doors to students in the 1974-75 school year. In the 1990s the population of Naples was rising. As a result, Lely was becoming overcrowded, so three new buildings were added onto the school.
In 2004 Golden Gate High School opened, which relieved the overcrowding of both Lely and Naples High School. When the 2010-11 year zone change took place, students were placed into Golden Gate from Naples and Lely High to keep the student populations equal.




Demographics


Lely is 39.56% Hispanic, 35.85% White, 21.5% Black, 0.55% Asian.




JROTC


Members of JROTC are called Cadets. There are four teams for cadets; Drill Team, Exhibition, Color Guard, and Raiders. The Drill Team has a Drill Competition in March.
