Principal's Message
I am Dr. Lakisha Woodfork, the proud principal of Edison Community School. It is a privilege to lead a school with such a rich tradition and a strong commitment to student success.
My vision is to create a school community where every Eagle is challenged, supported, and inspired to reach their highest potential. Together with our dedicated staff, families, and community partners, we will foster a culture of high expectations, meaningful relationships, and continuous growth. We are committed to providing engaging learning experiences and ensuring every Eagle receives the support they need to succeed.
I believe that strong partnerships between school and home are the foundation of student achievement, and I look forward to working alongside you throughout the year.
Together, we will continue building a school where every Eagle feels valued, empowered, and prepared for a bright future.
Thank you for being part of the Edison family. I am excited about all that we will accomplish together.
Together we learn. Together we succeed.

Programs
Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program provides funding to participating schools so they can provide a variety of free fresh fruits and vegetables to children throughout the school day. It is an effective and creative way to introduce fresh fruits and vegetables as healthy snack options.
Eagle Ensemble Club
Music development club!
Joining our music ensemble club inspires eagles to work together, build friendships, and create something amazing. It boosts confidence, encourages creativity, and teaches teamwork—all while making music fun and exciting. It’s a joyful way to grow skills and a love for music! We are so proud to offer this club with the music guidance of Mr. Scime!
Eagle Running Club
Health development club!
Joining a running club at school offers kids a fantastic opportunity to grow both physically and emotionally. Running is a fun, low-cost activity that promotes fitness, builds endurance, and encourages healthy habits from an early age. Beyond the physical benefits, it fosters self-confidence, discipline, and teamwork as kids set goals, support one another, and celebrate their progress. It also helps improve focus, reduces stress, and boosts mood, which can positively impact their academic performance and overall well-being. By participating in a running club, children not only develop a love for physical activity but also gain valuable life skills that shape them into resilient, well-rounded individuals. We are so grateful to offer this club in partnership with The University of Tampa!
