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. The newspaper is the Trojan Tribune.HistoryLely High School opened its doors to students in the winter of the 1974/75 school year. In the 1990s the population of Naples was rising. Lely was becoming overcrowded, so three new buildings were added onto the school. In 2004 construction for Golden Gate High School was complete. Golden Gate High School's completion relieved the overcrowding of both Lely and Naples High School. For the 2010/11 year zone change took place, in which students were placed in Golden Gate from Naples High and Lely High to keep the student populations equal.DemographicsLely is 39.56% Hispanic, 35.85% White, 21.5% Black, 0.55% Asian.Traditions and spiritFor homecoming week, Lely's students participate in multiple events. For all five days, students dress for the theme for the certain day (for example: nerd day, and color day, in which, colors are assigned for each grade to wear.) On Friday each grade level is assigned a stairwell to decorate. The grade with the best decorated is announced the winner.
