Day 8: Meet Chase! Today we rang our Good News Bell for him as he enlisted in the U.S. Army. In 2027, he will begin his service as an Air Defense Artillery recruit! Congratulations, Chase, on finding your path after Lake Minneola High School! 🔔 #OneHawk

Day 7: Meet our incredible Media Specialist, Ms. Strickland! She is a vital asset to our school, constantly finding ways to improve how we operate. Most recently, she developed and executed a plan to issue Chromebooks to students before the school year even started. Thanks to her hard work, 60% of our Hawks had their devices early, and 100% of our school was fully connected by the 3rd day! She is absolutely amazing! 🦅 #OneHawk
