Parking Reminders
Hawks, this is a reminder that parking at Lake Minneola High School is a privilege, not a right. As outlined in the parking agreement required to obtain a parking pass, all students must park in their assigned space and display their parking tag at all times.
Fines will be assessed for any violations of the parking terms. For your convenience, a copy of the Parking Agreement, Lake County Policy, and State Statutes are included for your reference.
Thank you for doing your part to keep our campus safe and organized!

Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong autoimmune condition causing the destruction of the cells in the pancreas that make insulin. This means the body can’t control blood sugar (glucose) on its own. Without management of high blood glucose levels, over time it can lead to serious and life-threatening health complications.
