  • Good Evening Parents, This Is Mr. Rice, Principal of Lyman High School and This Is Your Weekly Principal’S Update!
    Good evening parents, this is Mr. Rice, Principal of Lyman High School and this is your Weekly Principal’s Update! Last week was one heck of a busy week for our Greyhounds! We started off last Saturday with our students representing Lyman High School so well at the Seminole County Science Fair. As I walked around the exhibits, it just amazes me to think about how they come up with the concepts that they test. I was thoroughly impressed. In this newsletter, you’ll see that so many of our students earned awards and recognition for their hard work. Well done! Monday night, the Mayor and City Commissioners of the City of Longwood recognized Senior, Ridge Bonnick as their Juvenile of the Year! It was a great ceremony where they recognized an incredible young man! Congratulations Ridge! Tuesday brought our annual review of our ROTC Program! At the end of the day, I met with the reviewer and learned that our group earned a 98% (197 out of a possible 200) points! This is an incredible score and one that is rarely achieved by any ROTC Unit! This truly is a team effort between our instructors, Lieutenant Colonel Clark, 1st Sergeant Albert, and 1st Sergeant Turner along with our students. Outstanding work! Wednesday afternoon, we recognized several of our student athletes this week who have committed to playing their respective sport at the next level of competition. As I spoke with our students, their family and friends, and the many teachers and coaches that attended the NCAA Signing Day Ceremony, I couldn’t help to think about how special this moment it was.

    NOVEMBER 2019 Principal’s Message Administration Dear Greyhound Families, Principal We are off to a GREAT GREYHOUND start! The first quarter has been filled with spirit, pride, community, and Mr. Michael Rice most importantly, academic success! Our enrollment has leveled out at just over 2,200 students which includes approximately 615 new students that make up our Freshman Class, the Class of 2023! Our school continues to shine both in the community, as well as across the state and I could not be more proud of the high levels of achievement earned by our teachers, staff, and students. It gives me great pride to say that I am the Principal of this incredible Office Hours school, and I look forward to seeing the outcome of our work as we progress through the 2019-2020 school year. 7:00 am - 3:00 pm Over the summer, we were once again awarded a “B” rating by the Florida Department of Education. While it is Monday - Friday not the “A” rating we hoped for, the overall progress achieved by our campus blew me away. The tireless work of our students and our teachers led to a total growth of 31 points from the year before. This was the highest growth achieved of all Seminole County high schools, also earning us the highest point total of the five high schools that earned a “B” rating. The points earned were a result of growth in our Learning Gains, as well as Academic Proficiency. Lyman High School Our goal is, and will always be for all students to earn “One Year’s Growth in One Year’s Time.” As a result of our innovative teachers and hard-working students, we honored almost 600 students with an ice is committed cream sandwich or a Chick-fil-A sandwich for earning “One Year’s Growth in One Year’s Time.” We are proud of our students and look forward to the growth of all students when we test in April.

    April | May | June 2019 General Manager’s Address State of the club – from the GM’s office! First and foremost, we would like to thank you for your continued membership, participation and good will that you provide at the clubs. It truly is a pleasure to have such a great membership! It has been a great start to the 2019 season and the year is flying by already. With great HLMGA and HLLG events to date such as Member-Member at Legacy and Ladies Member Guest, playing both Heathrow and Legacy it has been an exciting start to the tournament season. The spring time is such a fantastic time at the clubs with Club Championship (Heathrow Men’s and Women’s), the dual course combined Men’s Member Guest, Easter Brunch and Easter Egg Hunt, Spring Fling in late April and gearing up for summer time at the pool (Go Stingrays!). So, we are very busy and enthusiastic heading through the first quarter of the year and building momentum for the remainder. There are many great initiatives we have been working on to kick off 2019 and assess any way we can improve the club for the membership. A big part of that has been a focus on fitness, wellness and needed upgrades to our Racquet Club. We have installed a new classroom area, dou- bled our fitness classes and have made facility changes to accommodate many more pieces of new equipment that will be delivered in April, including spin bikes to execute spin classes, for example. Our fitness launch party was fantastic in January with 250 members attending.
