Hawks, please see these flyers about the upcoming transition fairs!
Seniors,
Below are your reminders/updates for the week.
1). You only have until Thursday 2/20 to buy tickets for Grad Bash. See the post below this one for more information on that. Buy tickets on Revtrak, or bring cash to my room.
2). Caps and Gowns have now gone up in price. Orders need to be placed by 3/10. As of the end of last week 404 out of the 572 graduates have ordered.
3). Prom is coming up and tickets will go on sale soon. Please see the document linked below, and email any questions to lewisj1@lake.k12.fl.us.
4). I have had a lot of emails about graduation tickets. Each student will get 10 free tickets, and additional tickets will be sold for $10 each. Additional tickets will go on sale after Spring Break via RevTrak.
More information, and links to all of the above can be found on the Google Class stream. Your students can join and then add you as a guardian; that is the best way to get updated on all things Senior related. The class code is da4j4f5.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, comments, or concerns,

Lake Minneola High School gets new head football coach
MINNEOLA -- Lake Minneola High School’s head football coach, Mike McGlynn, has announced that he is leaving the position for personal reasons. McGlynn, a retired NFL player, brought a new spotlight to the school when he joined the Hawks in 2024.
Abre Leggins, the Hawks’ current offensive coach, is being promoted to the head coach position, effective immediately.
“He is great and the kids love him,” Principal William Roberts said.
Leggins, a former offensive lineman for the UCF Knights, joined the Hawks in 2024 after coaching three years at Ocoee High School in Orange County. Prior to that, he coached at Tohopekaliga and Osceola high schools in Kissimmee; and at Jones and Colonial high schools in Orlando.
“We thank Coach McGlynn for his contributions and wish him well,” Roberts said. “We are excited to see Coach Leggins advance to the head coach position, and we know he will continue to do great work with our Hawks.”
