    The principal of Cypress Lake High School, Tracy Perkins, is resigning from her position effective August 8, 2014. Under her leadership since 2003, the school has maintained an "A" grade from the state board of education despite increasing criteria, with only two years of narrowly missing the grade. She is most proud of the dedicated students, faculty, staff, and community that ensure students receive a challenging education to empower their success. However, due to issues with the superintendent and another administrator, she feels her leadership is now a hindrance. She requests to remain in her role until August 8th to assist the new principal's transition.

    To Dr. Nancy Graham, Superintendent:





    When I took over as Principal of Cypress Lake High School in 2003, the school had a C
    grade (rated by the State Board of Education). Since then, even with an increasingly
    demanding set of criteria, CLHS has been an A rated school all but two years (when we
    narrowly missed the A grade by three points one year and one point the other). Significant
    academic gains have been made in addition to continuous graduation rate increases. Cypress
    is stronger than ever, drawing motivated students, dedicated faculty and staff, the longest
    cohesive high school administrative team in the county, involved alumni, devoted community
    and business partnerships, and enthusiastic supporters. Although I am proud of many things,
    I am most proud of the people at Cypress who assure our students receive a challenging and
    life-changing education. Nothing is more important to us than the work we are doing to
    empower students to success in a changing world. In fact, that is our vision, verbatim.
    There is much to do to stay on course and my school deserves every opportunity available to
    reach their potential and beyond. I will never do anything to jeopardize that progress. Based on
    multiple interactions with you and/or Dr. Jeff Spiro, Executive Director School Development
    throughout the 2013-2014 school year, it is evident that your perception of me and/or my
    leadership has become a hindrance to my school. Therefore, I am resigning from the School
    District of Lee County and from my position as Principal of Cypress Lake High School
    effective close of day on August 8, 2014.
    As an experienced educational leader, I have always conducted myself in a professional
    manner and have been concerned with the success of my students and staff, and the district as
    a whole. I am requesting that I be given the opportunity to remain in my current job capacity
    until August 8
    th
    so that I can assist the incoming Principal with his/her transition.

    Sincerely,

    Tracy Perkins, Principal
    Cypress Lake High School
