Introducing Mr. McCloe, LNMS Principal |

Mr. McCloe is a proud graduate of University of Central Florida and Nova Southeastern University. He is joining us as he enters his 24th year in education. Mr. McCloe started his career at Rock Lake Elementary as an ESE teacher. During his time in OCPS, he has also worked as an ESE Staffing Specialist, Administrative Dean, Assistant Principal and Principal in various schools, including Howard, Meadow Woods, and Memorial Middle School as well as Shenandoah and Eagle Creek Elementary Schools.
During his free time, Mr. McCloe enjoys spending time with his wife and son. He is an avid sports fan and loves cheering for the UCF Knights and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We are so excited to have Mr. McCloe as our new leader in the Kingdom!
A Community Meet and Greet of our new principal Mr. McCloe will take place on 7/21 via Microsoft Teams at 4:00pm. A link will be sent via ConnectEd and our social media outlets on 7/19.

For the last six years, Lake Nona Middle has been led by Dr. Stephanie Jackson. We first met Ms. Stephanie Minter in the summer of 2015 when she joined us as our new principal coming from Freedom High. Throughout her time with us, she became Mrs. Jackson, then Dr. Jackson, and in the meantime became a mom again to son Noah. Throughout it all, Dr. Jackson has led the Kingdom with steadfastness, a vision for excellence, and keeping the best interests of the community and her students at the forefront. We wish Dr. Jackson well as she moves to a new position at the district working with principals as they continue their professional growth. Once a Knight, always a Knight! |
