Sunlake High School

Sunlake High School is a public high school in Pasco County located right off of Sunlake Blvd and SR54 in Land O' Lakes, Florida. It is adjacent to Charles S. Rushe Middle School, both of which opened in August 2007. Sunlake did not open with a senior class and it relieved overcrowding at Land O' Lakes High School and J.W. Mitchell High School. By the 2008-2009 school year, Sunlake finally had a complete High School as it now contains all four classes (9th-12th grades). The first principal was Angela Stone (2007–2010). Sunlake High School is one of the few high schools in the county that offer a Dual Enrollment English class in the school. Sunlake High School also offers a complete set of AP classes in the Social Studies field, beginning with AP Human Geography in the 9th grade, AP World History in the 10th grade, AP US History in the 11th, and AP European History, AP Economics and AP Government in the 12th grades.

The school is organized into Learning Communities which are designed to enhance the curriculum and student performance by linking teaching and learning to broad career clusters. This “school within a school” concept establishes smaller groups of students and teachers providing more opportunities for better relationships among students, parents and teachers. The 4 learning communities are: Health & Human Services, Science & Technology, Business, and Fine Arts. Students choose a major area of interest that can be changed any or all 4 years of High School. This plan has been put into effect in all Pasco County High Schools.

    The school system, custodian of print culture, has no place for the rugged individual. It is, indeed, the homogenizing hopper into which we toss our integral tots for processing.
