The School Board approved names for three new elementary schools set to open in August 2020. All three projects have the same prototype design.
- Summerlake Elementary is the name for a new school located at 15450 Porter Rd. in Winter Garden. The school relieves Independence and Water Spring elementary schools. The school community voted on three possible names: Hamlin Elementary, Lake Hancock Elementary and Summerlake Elementary. The name Summerlake Elementary was chosen because the school is located in the Summerlake community of Horizon West. The school was previously known as Site 85-E-W-4.
The $24.3 million project was designed by Rhodes + Brito Architects and is being built by OHL Building.
- Sunshine Elementary is the name for a new school located at 13225 International Dr. in Orlando. The school relieves Tangelo Park and Waterbridge elementary schools. The school community voted on three possible names: International Elementary, Lake Bryan Elementary and Sunshine Elementary. The name Sunshine Elementary was the top choice of students because we live in the Sunshine State. The school was previously known as Site 20-E-SW-4.
The $24.3 million project was designed by Rhodes + Brito Architects and is being built by Core Construction.
- Vista Pointe Elementary is a new school located at 6900 Market Place Dr. in Orlando. The school relieves Sun Blaze Elementary and Northlake Park Community School. The school community voted on three possible names: Golden Vista Elementary, Sun Park Elementary and Vista Pointe Elementary. The name Vista Pointe was chosen because it represents a high point and the potential of the students and the area. The school was previously known as Site 83-E-SE-3.
The $25.5 million project was designed by Rhodes + Brito Architects and is being built by Charles Perry Partners, Inc.
