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)
Thank you for all that you do!
Congratulations to our wonderful Rookie Teacher of the Year, Coach Castro, and our magnificent Support Staff of the Year, Ms. McClendon (not pictured)! We are so proud of you!
Gray Middle appreciates Ms. Syretta Brown, our School Social Worker that does so much to help us all! Thank you!

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!
8th graders! Don’t miss out on going to Gradventure! We will be collecting money in person in the courtyard starting this Monday. We will be there daily to collect your money starting at 8:50 am. Please remember cash payments must be made in full. Just a reminder that you can still pay online through Revtrak if you want to and your forms should be turned in to your science teacher. The last day to turn in money and forms is Thursday, March 6th which is the last day before Spring Break. We are going to have so much fun! So don’t wait or hesitate, make sure you buy your ticket!
