A Message from the Principal... The 2018-2019 school year is in full swing at East Lee County High School, and we have had an outstanding start to our school year! Our staff and students are fully engaged in teaching and learning, and we are confident that this will be the best year ever to be a Jaguar! We are committed to providing a relevant and rigorous learning environment that prepares ALL students to reach their highest potential. Enclosed in our newsletter you will find important information. Thank you for your commitment to our students and school. Students have the same Administrator during their four years at East Lee County High School. They have one counselor their freshman and sophomore years, and another counselor their junior and senior years. We strive to partner with our students and families to ensure that every student has the support necessary to achieve his/her goals and is prepared for the future beyond high school. Please contact us if you ever have questions or concerns.

For those who are unfamiliar with a high school credit system, please know that tardiness or poor attendance may result in loss of course credit. It is very important that students be in school every day and on time to class. Jaguar Scholars own their success! Our school has set rigorous goals that focus on improving instruction and increasing student achievement, and we need your help in achieving those goals. Parental involvement at the high school level is critical to student success. Peer pressure is powerful, and it is essential for parents of teens to be involved in their child’s school life. One way that parents and community members can be involved is to become a member of our School Advisory Committee (SAC). This group, aside from serving in a liaison role between the community and the school administration, monitors our school improvement efforts. If you would like to become a member of our School Advisory Committee, please call Mrs. Ellen Green at (239) 369-2932 or contact her via email at [email protected]. There are many ways for parents to be involved at East Lee County High School. Volunteers are always welcome during the school day or in the evening to help with school events. To become a Jaguar volunteer, please contact Dr. Jason Kurtz at [email protected]. If providing support from the sideline better suits your interest, we encourage you to become involved by coming out and cheering on the Jaguars at our activity and athletic events. Aside from having a good time, your kids will notice and benefit from your enthusiasm. I am extremely proud of the work that our staff and students are doing every day to make progress toward improved academic achievement. I believe in the staff and students at East Lee County High School and am so fortunate to be part of the Jaguar family. Go JAGS! Melissa Robery, Principal
U.S. Department of Education Title 1 School
Our Vision: All ELCHS Scholars will engage in and take ownership of their learning.

Welcome Back!
I would like to welcome everyone back to the 2018-19 school year at East
Lee County High School. I am pleased and honored to be serving such an
awesome school and community.
This year we are looking forward to doing great things with our Student
Athletes in the classroom, on the playing fields and in our communities. It
is my hope and vision that East Lee County High School will serve as the
premier athletic program, not only in Lee County, but in the entire State of
Florida.
This year we are excited to have Mr. Johnny Brown as our new Head
Football Coach. Coach Brown and the team look to begin the rebuilding
stages of our football program. They have been going all summer long with
camps and summer workouts, as well as tutoring and mentoring programs.
We would also like to welcome all of our new and returning Fall coaches.
This group is led by our 2017-18 Coach Of The Year, Tom Faasse, who will
be coaching Girls Volleyball. We also have Coach Josh Evans who comes to
us from Dunbar High School. Mr. Evans, along with Mr. Rob Moor, will be
coaching our Cross Country teams. Our other Fall coaches include: Mrs.
Melissa Smith and Mr. Brian Adams for swimming; Mr. Robert Giles and
Mr. Robin Jenkins for Bowling and Mr. William Holohan and Mr. Israel
Genest for Golf.
Once again, we welcome you to another fine year of Jaguar Athletics. We
look forward to your continued support.
Sincerely,
Mr. William E. Hagan
ELCHS Athletic Director
