Did you know…Just two years ago, we welcomed our very first Cambridge 6th graders, and they stand as confident 8th graders leading the way! Their journey shows how challenging academics, global perspectives, and a love of learning opens doors to an exciting future - and we can’t wait to see all they will accomplish this year and beyond as they move toward an AICE diploma and full Bright Future scholarships!
All Lake County public schools will be closed on Monday, September 1, in observance of Labor Day. We honor the hard work, dedication, and contributions of the American workforce that help build strong communities and a bright future for our students. Enjoy a safe and restful holiday!
Our Gators are hard at work during Gator Aid. Today we had students working on a hands on activity involving ratios. Way to go Gators!

Dear Families,
We are eager to hear from you if your family is in need of resources! To better support our students and families, I have created a short Parent Resource Survey. This survey will help me understand your needs and how I can assist you.
It only takes a few minutes to complete, and your feedback will be invaluable in identifying the resources or supports that would be most helpful for your family. Please rest assured that all responses are confidential. Once you complete the survey, I will reach out to you to offer assistance.
