Winter Park High School Advisory Council (SAC) Continuous improvement is a priority at Winter Park High School. Our School Advisory Council studies the school’s performance trends and develops an annual plan to improve education in vital areas such as student achievement, curriculum, safety, and discipline. The SAC also assists the principal when planning for the upcoming year’s budget. Plans are available to the public and accessible through the Florida Department of Education’s website (CIMS). SAC meetings are public and occur one night per month during the school year. SAC members are elected annually by school parents, and attendance is required. Some notable SAC projects include the ‘Escape the Vape’ program designed to educate our students regarding the dangers of vaping. SAC also has a budget and, most recently, the council approved the purchase of numerous band and orchestra instruments in order to contine those programs safely during COVID . Let us know if this is an area in which you would like to get involved as we continually look for ways to improve Winter Park High School. You make a difference. Contact Paul Maldonado ([email protected]) if you would like to join SAC. Winter Park High School Foundation Overview
