We’re grateful to be part of such a meaningful event that brings everyone together to celebrate history, culture, and unity.

5 students. 5 stories. One scholarship making a lasting impact.

Each of these students represents dedication, resilience, and the promise of a brighter future. From generations of family legacy in Clermont to goals in healthcare, education, and public service—these scholars are just getting started.

The Clermont High School Alumni Scholarship continues a legacy of supporting students with strong connections to our community, helping them take the next step toward their future.

But there are more students like them still waiting for that opportunity.

Prep Tip #2: Register for the Special Needs Shelter Program 🏥

If you or someone in your household has a disability, medical condition, or needs assistance during an evacuation, now is the time to act — not when the storm is 48 hours out.

Lake County's Special Needs Shelter program is designed for residents who require additional support during an emergency. To register, call (352) 343-9420 or visit lakecountyfl.gov.

Share this with a neighbor, a caregiver, or a family member who might need it.

To every father who showed up, worked hard, and gave back — thank you.

South Lake County has been shaped by men who believed in something bigger than themselves. Who volunteered, donated, mentored, and invested in a community they wanted to be better for the next generation.

This Father's Day, we're thinking of all the dads — and father figures — who helped build the place we call home.

Happy Father's Day from all of us at the Community Foundation of South Lake.

What started as a room full of old classmates catching up turned into something so much more. 🎓

The sold-out Clermont High School All-Class Reunion brought former Hilltoppers and Highlanders together for a day of stories, yearbooks, and decades of memories — but the lasting impact was felt far beyond the reunion room.

The Clermont High School Alumni Scholarship Fund, established in 2016 and held here at the Community Foundation of South Lake County, has awarded 29 scholarships to graduating seniors pursuing college, technical training, and trade school opportunities.

This year? Their biggest class yet. Thanks to a generous donation, the committee awarded five $2,000 scholarships — the largest number distributed in a single year.

That's the power of community showing up for the next generation.
