KISSIMMEE, Fla. – Vineland Lakes High School, a new alternative high school in Osceola County, has officially opened its permanent building.

The school aims to help students who have fallen behind get back on track toward graduation.

“Our motto is, ‘Together we swarm, we strive and we succeed,” Vineland Lakes High School Principal Dr. Tiana Coleman said.

Vineland Lakes is a tuition-free charter school that works with the Osceola County School District to provide an accelerated learning program for students behind on credits.

“It’s meant to catch up so they can still have the chance to graduate,” Coleman explained. “And in today’s day and age, with our kids, they have a lot of challenges.”
