In the tradition of preparatory education the House System is an important part and feature of an Academy at the Lakes educational experience. Students and their families are assigned to one of four K-12 Houses - Peregrine, Kestrel, Osprey, and Nighthawk. During the course of the academic year many events and traditions unique to each House occur. The House Field Day event engages all the Houses in field events and competitions designed to build a sense of community and leadership. Each of the Houses is composed of students in grades K-12 who compete with each other in foot races, relays, games, an opening parade, and other related events. The Opening Parade is a sea of color - all students wearing the color of their House in preparation for the day's events. Observers view high school seniors holding the hands of Kindergarten students within their House. Healthy competition and a strong sense of community abounds! The House System is unique to Academy at the Lakes and the results of building community in this manner are very significant.

Academy at the Lakes vs Hillsborough Baptist Playoff Game
Friday nights play off game between Academy at the Lakes Wildcats and Hillsborough Baptist Lions was again a very exciting and close contest. The home team Wildcats got on the board first when Academy took control of the ball on the Lions 16 yard line. After a couple of incomplete passes, Tyler Palmer took the ball up the middle for a 16 yard T.D. run. Hillsborough fought back and tied the score 6-6 on a 10yard T.D. pass. In the second quarter a couple passes by Freddy Santory set up a one yard T.D. run by Shane Arbet, for a 13-6 Wildcat lead.
Before the half, Academy took a 19-6 lead on an 8 yard pass to Ross Braddock. Hillsborough stayed focused and with the help of a penalty was able to complete an 18 yard T.D. pass with no time remaining, to cut the half time score to 19-12.
The rains came to start the second half, but early in the third quarter Hillsborough tied the score at 19-19. Regulation ended tied, and Academy took the ball in overtime with four downs from the 15 yard line. A couple of false start penalties moved the ball to 3rd and 23 for the Wildcats. On third down Freddy Santory hooked up with Ross Braddock for the winning touch down. Academy held the lions on their four tries for a 25-19 overtime win. Academy travels to Winter Haven to face Haven Christian on Saturday, Nov 4th for a 2 PM contest. This will be the first High School 6-man tackle football Florida State Championship game!
