VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
Here at Lehigh Acres Middle School, we empower every student every day!

As the principal at Lehigh Acres Middle School, my mantra is “Enter to Learn. Depart to Serve.” What I mean by that is, I want students to approach their school day focused on learning, while being mindful of how they can serve their community with the knowledge they have gained. Whatever they do outside of school, I want them to do it with a sense of purpose.

While graduation might seem far off to sixth graders as they begin their middle school journey, it’s very much on the minds of educators at Lehigh Acres Middle School. The middle school years pass quickly, so we want to make the most of them by offering programs that set students up for success in high school and give them a better chance at a higher education, and future careers. Lehigh Acres Middle School offers Cambridge AICE, AVID, STEAM, full time Gifted and more.

One of those programs is Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education, which offers the most rigorous courses available in math, language arts and science. This program prepares students to succeed in Cambridge at the high school level, and other advanced high school courses such as IB, Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment.

Lehigh Acres is also the only AVID National Demonstration Middle School in South Florida. AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination, and it is a school-wide support system designed to prime students for college success. It has a proven track record nationwide for bringing out the very best in students and ensuring they are eligible and ready to enter a four-year college after high school graduation.

What will students be when they grow up? Whatever career they choose, the data shows that future jobs will require a strong foundation in STEAM – Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math. Lehigh Acres Middle School is a STEAM magnet school, providing at least 10 hours per week in these subjects for every student across all grade levels in both core classes and special electives, which include engaging subjects like:
-Flight Simulation 
-Robotics 
-Coding Fundamentals 
-Agricultural Science
-FUSE Studio 
-Engineering 
-Video Game Design 
-Dance 
-Art & Advanced Art 
-Ceramics
-Theater 
-Band & Exploratory Music

Across all of our programs and studies, Lehigh Acres Middle School provides individualized support for our students along the way.

In fact, we were the first school in Lee County to adopt the 6th Grade Academy concept, which aims to provide a smooth transition from elementary to middle school. We nurture students at this critical juncture, giving our scholars a strong foundation for success. Our social emotional learning approach alleviates the pressures many students face in their middle school years.

Lehigh Acres Middle School also offers opportunities for advanced learners to grow by participating in Student Government and National Junior Honor Society.

And a little fun goes a long way! We provide a variety of athletic and extracurricular opportunities. It’s all part of teaching the whole child!
