It is my pleasure to welcome you to Lake Norman High School’s Freshman Academy.

Lake Norman is a School of Excellence and the freshman academy is designed to help students build a strong foundation for a successful high school career and the career path students choose to pursue later in life. Lake Norman High School is a relatively large school so we have designed the Freshman Academy to be a smaller school within a larger school. This is intended to make the transition from middle school to high school smoother and easier.

In the Freshman Academy, students are a part of a smaller learning community where they will receive individual, focused attention and be able to build relationships with their teachers in class and during homeroom. Students are placed on teams within the academy that consist of 4 core teachers that work to personally meet the needs of each individual student.
