Today we celebrated some of our Gators for being nominated for Gator of the Month. Congratulations!
Our World History students participated in an interactive activity along with our culinary department to prepare and taste food that was commonly served during the reign of Genghis Khan during the Mongolian times. This was all made possible thanks to a creative idea from one of our World History teachers, Mr. Mackall, and a generous grant from the Education Foundation of Lake County. This experience allowed our students to make connections on a deep level. Thank you to all who made this experience possible! Go Gators!
Congratulations to our Teachers and Support Staff of the Month! Ms. Kale, Ms. Hacker, Mr. Chambers, and Ms. Melendez (not pictured)

Our 8th grade students had the opportunity to check out the CTE options offered at South Lake High School. CTE (Career Technical Education) courses range from health sciences and nursing, to JROTC, to Horticulture, to construction. Students will need to complete a CTE course in high school for graduation and we are so thankful that SLHS was able to come showcase their programs with some of our former Gators as their student ambassadors. Go Gators and Go Eagles!
