School Reviews

I graduated last year; my time at LHHS was amazing. I'm still good friends with a couple teachers- one of them I never even had as a student. The facilities could be better, but the people and extracurriculars make up for it. I did theater and chorus all 4 years and added band my last year. It's super easy to get involved in clubs. This isn't your average stereotypical school. Most students are very friendly and open to making new friends. I had a wonderful social and academic life, graduating summa cum laude and having fun at the same time. I would definitely recommend Lake Howell.

I would definitely recommend this school.
Although there could be some adjustments on the up-keep and overall appereance of the school. The acedemic programs and all extracurricular activities are excellent. It also seems the level of parent involvement is there when needed. From what i have gathered my first year of high school, anyone should be have a great experience at this school. =]
