School Advisory Council

Community members, business leaders, parents and teachers work together to develop a School Improvement Plan. The School Advisory Council (SAC) will meet monthly to assess our students' academic needs and evaluate the progress of Lake Nona High School. As part of our commitment to excellence, this is done to ensure that every student will continue to receive a quality education. We encourage and welcome your input.
