The purpose of “Dare 2 Be D.E.A.F.” is to encourage students to Dream, Educate, Aim, and Focus. Every student has dreams of their own, but may be unsure of how to reach them. There are many Lake City natives that have successful careers and could serve as excellent resources and role models for helping students reach their goals in addition to the education they are already receiving at Lake City High School. Learning about the experiences and successes of Lake City High School alumni will have a positive impact on current students and encourage them to take action towards their goals. For most students, obtaining a high school diploma is only the beginning of their journey to achieve their dreams. Other students may require additional resources and reinforcements to help complete post-secondary education. In some situations, students are encouraged to go to college, but maybe unsure of how to succeed once they arrive on campus. We want to provide a platform for Lake City High School alumni to relay their personal experiences on how they graduated from college and began their careers. This will help students relate to alumni that grew up in a similar environment. Talking to someone that has done what the students are trying to do will dramatically impact the students’ lives and help them put their goals into perspective.
