Lapeer West High School was one of two public high schools in Lapeer, Michigan. It is on the west side of the M-24 highway. The mission of Lapeer West High School was to promote education through the encouragement and cooperation of students, parents, school personnel, and community. We will provide a secure academic environment in which our students will develop to their fullest potential and become productive members of society.

Lapeer West High School was previously Lapeer High School. The current building opened in 1961; the previous high school, built in 1922, became White Junior High School, which closed in 1995. It took its current name upon the 1976 opening of Lapeer East High School.

Lapeer West closed at the end of the 2013–2014 school year as Lapeer Community Schools consolidated the faculties and student bodies of the two high schools into a single high school, which will be located on the Lapeer East campus. Today, the Lapeer West building is now the Lapeer Community Schools' Center for Innovation, allowing students to take courses never before offered in their schools. Its athletic fields will remain as home to the Lapeer High School Lightning outdoor sports teams.
