Message from the PrincipalDear Lake Brantley Families,
My name is Trent Daniel, and I want to introduce myself to you as Lake Brantley’s new principal. I am extremely excited about working with all of the outstanding educators, supportive parents, and wonderful students at Lake Brantley High School. I have been an educator in Seminole County Public Schools for 26 years at Lake Mary High School, Winter Springs High School, Hagerty High School, Oviedo High School, Seminole High School, and Sanford Middle School. As a teacher, I taught chemistry and was department chair at two different high schools. As an administrator, I have overseen various programs including the reading and writing initiatives, athletics, and professional development to name a few. My life’s passion is helping students flourish and watching them grow in academics, athletics, and the arts. Lake Brantley is a “powerhouse”, and I am excited to meet everyone. Please take time to introduce yourself to me as you see me at various events. It is going to be another incredible year! GO PATRIOTS!
Dr. Trent DanielPrincipal

students! Thank you for items donated! The Patriot Pantry & Closet are always in need of supplies! Foods needed: canned goods, mac and cheese, peanut butter and jelly, easy to prep foods, granola bars and cereal bars. Clothing Needs: Unisex Hoodies and new or gently used backpacks! Thank you for giving our students a helping hand when they need it the most!
The Enchanted Closet needs your help. Many families in our Lake Brantley community are struggling with household expenses – let alone worrying about those “extra expenses” that always seem to come along, like Homecoming, Prom or even dressing appropriately for a job interview.
As a result of your generosity, we are proud to announce that we provided 15 young ladies with spectacular gowns, shoes, purses, and jewelry for Prom 2016! Thank you so very much for your support of our endeavors!
Before we know it, Homecoming will be here. Please continue to donate formal dresses, (short or long), purses, shoes, wraps, etc., so that we may replenish the Enchanted Closet.
This year, we will also collect dress slacks, suit jackets, oxford-style shirts and shoes for our male students.
You may drop off your clean and gently loved items at the front desk throughout the year, including the summer months. Please contact Julie Collins at 407-746-3671 with questions.

The Lake Brantley High School On Campus Credit Union Is Here For You!It’s no secret that high school years are very busy ones. They’re supposed to be. Just finding time to hang out with friends and family can sometimes be difficult. However, there is one very important activity high school students can do that doesn’t take up much time at all.
Saving money may or may not be at the top of your list of important things to focus on while in high school, but developing smart money habits, including saving for your future financial needs, is one of the most important steps a high school student can do to establish independence as a young adult.
Lake Brantley High School students can quickly and effortlessly begin saving by
visiting Lake Brantley High School’s CFE Brantley Branch. The Brantley Branch is currently running this special offer for all students: Open your first new checking account by October 31 and CFE will match your first deposit up to $25!*
Just remember, it’s never too soon to learn smart money habits! To learn more about CFE Federal Credit Union and the Poinciana Branch, visit mycfe.com/brantley.
Federally insured by NCUA *Account must remain open for 30 days to receive matching funds. CFE will deposit the amount equal to your first deposit after the $5.00 share savings minimum balance has been made. Offer only valid at the Brantley Branch location. Membership requirement may apply. Offer expired 10/31/16.
Academy of FinanceAs of May 1, 2016, seniors in the Academy of Finance have earned over $11,000 in scholarships. These scholarships are directly related to their participation in the Academy. We congratulate these students on their accomplishments.
