As we wind down this school year, our leaders in elementary, middle and high school education have a few words of wisdom to share with rising Kindergartners, rising Middle school students, and rising High school students. They will share tips for parents and students to prepare for the next grade and help students know what to expect on their educational journey.

What's Cool in Our Schools

UCF Athletes Read to Primary Students at Carillon Elementary

Carillon Elementary School and UCF have been working together in a partnership with Chic-fil-A to have athletes come to read and speak with students. Students at Carillon love to hear athletes from all different sports talk about college life and the sports they play.  

Markham Woods Middle School Biomechatronics Program of Exploration

Biomechatronics, a Program of Exploration offered only at Markham Woods Middle School, provides students with a unique introduction to the interdisciplinary study of anatomy, physiology, electronics, robotics, and computer programming through research and collaboration.

Students learn about career options in the field, ethics of biomechatronic research and development, and the biomechatronic design process. Students in this course are required to complete a final project presented to a panel of judges that determines the funding the course will receive to complete their project specifications.

Rock Lake Middle School Honored at City Commission Meeting

Rock Lake Middle School was invited by Mayor Matt Morgan to the April 17, 2023 City Commission meeting to be recognized for their effort and support of our Military Heroes overseas by collecting supplies donations and writing 117 letters of thanks. The City Commission expressed sincere gratitude for the Beta Clubs heartfelt dedication to the service of men and women who sacrifice so much by serving in the United States Military.
