A private school founded in Central Florida. Known to be one of the best private schools in Florida, which it should be since you pay $16,000 a year in tuition to attend!
Preppy atmosphere lacking any type of diversity, unless you count the five black kids in every grade who were given an "academic scholarship" to play some type of sport. For a "Christian based school" it also has a large population of Jewish students.
Parts of the student body can be a tad pretentious and superficial, whether that be the macho lacrosse players to the vapid blond cheerleaders. Expect the student parking lot to be filled with parents' Mercedes and Lexus'. Guys wear Guy Harvey Shirts and Sperry's, whereas girls wear Ugg boots with leggings.
Basically your typical college prep school for all the professionals (Doctors, Lawyers, and Businessmen) , who want to send their sons or daughter to "prestigious" schools, or avoid the public schools of the area.

"Haha, yeah we got wasted that weekend at that Isleworth party. Good thing I told my parents I was working on my Vanderbilt and Wake Forest applications"

Get the Lake Highland Preparatory School mug.Preppies are people who go to prepatory highschools (Groton, Hotchkiss, Philips Exeter, Philips Andover, Deerfield, Laurence, etc.). Most of them shop at J. Crew, Banana Republic, Brooks Brothers, L.L. Bean, Ralph Lauren and all designer stores. Preppies are often mistaken for kids who shop at Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle Outfiters, Rave, etc. Those who think "preppies" are girls who shop at those stores are VERY wrong.

Get the prepone mug.A true preppy is someone who:
Wears, but is not limited to, Polo, Lilly, Brooks Brothers, Lacoste, LL Bean (ie duck boots), ribbon belts, prints (ie cords with embroidered whales, palm trees, etc), sweaters tied around the neck, collar always popped, looks neat and put together. Hair ribbons or ribbon headbands, pearls, and other classic jewelry pull the look together. Preppies are partial to monogrammed and engraved items (ie tote bags, oxford shirts, jewelry, money clips, etc). Colors are always brite (favorites include pink and lime green). Preppies may not always match EXACTLY but they are always coordinated. Hats are worn (ie polo player, Lacoste, Brooks Brothers), but they are unique- not designs you would see in the mainstream and the "mall".
Preppies often attend prep schools (ie Middlesex School, Governor Dummer Academy, and Belmont Hill) followed by New England private colleges.
They are confident and unafraid to express their own styles and be daring in their fashions. Preppies vacation on Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Delray Beach, and on the coast of Maine. These vacation locales are places their families have been going to for years, and have histories there.
It is a common misconception that preppies are snobs. Many people view them as unapproachable, and as a result mislabel them. Preppies are not as rich as people may think they are, but they are often well off. They buy into classics rather than trends, and don't change their lifestyles with fads.
Preppies tend to have bizarre connections with other preppies they meet, always finding mutual friends/ family and people that run in the same circle.
Preppies don't:
* Wear tight, skin exposing clothing (ie fitted Abercrombie sexual tshirts with tight flared jeans)
* Limit themselves to mall shopping and chain stores. They gravitate towards long-established classic stores and boutiques unique to quaint New England towns.
* Wear heavy makeup and endless hair products. The phrase "less is more" is a preppy creed.
* Glue purses to their arms, especially when going to school. Lip gloss and if need be, a wallet, are thrown into tote bags along with books.
