HURRICANE ATHLETES:
Success doesn't happen on Friday nights.
It happens in the classrooms, weight room, practices, community service projects, and daily choices that nobody sees.

At Mount Dora High School, every athlete is building something bigger than a winning season.
📚 Freshman Year: Build your foundation
💪 Sophomore Year: Build momentum
🎯 Junior Year: Get ready for opportunities
🎓 Senior Year: Finish strong and leave your legacy
Remember:
🧡 Character matters.
🧡 Academics matter.
🧡 Leadership matters.
🧡 Effort matters.

The best athletes aren't just great players, they're great teammates, great students, and great representatives of the Hurricane family.
.
What are YOU working on this summer to become a better Hurricane athlete?
