A Message from the Superintendent
We have so much to be proud of here in Lake County Schools. We are part of a community that cares about and supports its children. With dedicated teachers, staff and administrators, coupled with strong parent engagement and the support of community businesses and organizations, our students have everything they need to excel.
I am very proud of our district. I celebrate what our students and staff have accomplished so far, and I look forward to working with teachers and administrators to provide more opportunities for our students to get excited about learning and to prepare them for college and careers once they leave our schools. It is my pleasure to welcome you to Lake County Schools!

About Lake County
Home to over 1,000 pristine lakes, springs, and rivers, it is clear how Lake County got its name. The landscape and terrain comprised of rolling hills and stunning vistas culminates in the highest point in peninsular Florida, Sugarloaf Mountain.
Throughout the county, there are acres of preserves, state parks and a national forest full of plants and wildlife attracting hikers and ecotourists to these protected and undisturbed lands. Our waterfront parks situated beneath a canopy of Oak trees make for a great spot for an afternoon picnic or as a stop while exploring one of the area's many trails.
Lake County boasts 14 municipalities, each with distinct personalities. Dotted with antique stores, art galleries, mom and pop restaurants to please every palate, our home-cooked comfort food and fine dining intimate lakeside retreats serves as refreshing reminders of the way life should be. The family-friendly atmosphere, heritage museums, and lively festivals all add to the allure of scenic Lake County, which has a character all of its own.
As more than 1,000 people move to Florida each day, Lake County stands out as one of the top 10 fastest growing counties in the state. For more, check out our resources page.
