Welcome Back, Lauderhill 6 - 12 Panthers!

Dear Lauderhill 6–12 Families, Students, and Staff,

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! I hope you had a restful, rejuvenating summer and are ready to return with the incredible energy, pride, and Panther spirit that define our campus.

This year, we are not simply returning to school—we are returning as a Grade “A” institution!

For the first time in our school's history, Lauderhill 6–12 has officially earned an “A” school grade. This monumental achievement belongs to every member of our community. It is the direct result of our students’ determination, our teachers’ unwavering commitment, and our families’ steadfast support.

Together, we have proven what is possible when Panthers set high expectations and work toward a common goal. We have established ourselves as a standard of academic excellence, and this achievement is only the beginning.

Welcoming Our Newest Panthers

To our incoming sixth-grade students and families: Welcome to the Panther Family!

Starting middle school is an exciting milestone, and we are committed to ensuring a smooth, safe, and successful transition. Whether you are exploring a new campus, meeting new teachers, or making new friends, know that you have a dedicated team ready to support you every step of the way.

The Year Ahead

While earning an “A” is an incredible accomplishment, sustaining excellence requires continued focus, hard work, and collaboration. This year, we will build upon our success through rigorous academics, meaningful relationships, supportive mentoring, and a safe, inclusive environment where every student can thrive—from sixth grade through high school graduation.

As we begin this historic school year, I encourage every Panther to set ambitious goals, embrace challenges, and take pride in being part of a school community that is committed to excellence.

Enjoy these final days of summer. Get your school supplies ready, set your goals high, and prepare for an extraordinary year ahead.

See you soon, Panthers!

On behalf of the School Advisory Council (SAC), we want to welcome you and your students to an exciting new school year. We hope your summer was restful and filled with great memories.

As we kick off the year, we want to invite you to become an active voice in our school community. The School Advisory Council is a collaborative team of parents, teachers, administrators, and community members dedicated to one common goal: ensuring our students receive the best possible education.

Why Join or Attend SAC Meetings?

• Have a Say: We collaborate directly with the principal to develop and monitor the annual School Improvement Plan.
• Stay Informed: Get first-hand updates on school budgets, academic programs, and safety initiatives.
• Make an Impact: Help decide how state accountability funds are used to support classroom resources and student success.

Your perspective as a parent is invaluable to us. You do not need any prior experience to attend—just a passion for supporting our school.

Every school shall have a School Advisory Forum (SAF) that shall foster and promote communication between its stakeholders, the school and the Regional Advisory Council. The SAF shall bring forth recommendations, concerns and interests to and from their Regional Advisory Council.
