[edit] Facility
The school structure was originally completed in Fall 1993 to educate around 1,500 students. The main building is a two story structure, housing administrative offices, guidance offices, and approximately 40 classrooms. An additional two-floor structure was completed in 2007 to house core academic courses. It was originally built to house freshmen courses, but has since been converted to house multiple grades. Due to multiple campus updates and the addition of portable classrooms as of Summer 2011 it has a capacity of 2,278.[2]
The South Lake High campus has a library, a cafeteria, an auditorium, a band/chorus building, a gym containing a dance room, weight room, and a basketball/volleyball court, and three vocational buildings. One of these houses the culinary and JROTC program. This vocational building was converted from the original cafeteria. The campus also includes portables, six tennis courts, track, and football field and stadium.
[edit] Student Body
South Lake High began with approximately 1100 students, 700 from Clermont and 400 from Groveland. By 2009 the school had grown to around 2,200[3] students. At the inception of Lake Minneola High in Fall 2011 there will be a drastic reduction in the number of students to an expected 1,730.[4]
