Bright and early this morning, at 7 a.m., Senior Tristan Lorentz did his first solo flight toward his private pilot license. With a big crowd cheering him on from the ground, including his instructor, everyone looked up into the sky as Tristan completed multiple patterns in the sky, multiple takeoffs, and landings. Tristan received a $12,000 scholarship from the EAA Chapter 1632 out of Umatilla airport for his private pilot’s license. His next step will be training for cross-country flights!
Flying three mornings a week before school, dual enrolling with Lake Sumter State College and his high school curriculum as well, Tristan is soaring into senior year at MDHS!

A new state law -- House Bill 1105, which was signed into law on July 1 -- stipulates how and when students can use personal electronic devices during the school day in an effort to support focused learning in all Florida public school classrooms. The law says:
• Elementary and middle school students may not use a cell phone or other personal electronic device at any time during the school day.
• High School students may use cell phones and other personal electronic devices during instructional time only if a teacher gives permission for educational purposes.
• Exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis for students with an IEP, specific health needs, or English language learners (ELL).
Our Code of Student Conduct has been updated to reflect this law. See the Code of Student Conduct at this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RZS1-ppNFeQ_vSnOamPTlz0voX11U5Bs/view?usp=sharing . Thank you for working with us to create and maintain more focused learning environments for our students.
