Bobcats…Champions…Everyday!

Big Cypress Elementary (BCE)

At Big Cypress Elementary (BCE), we inspire learning through curiosity, 
creativity, and connection. Our students thrive in a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment where every child is valued and supported. 

Our exceptional teachers bring learning to life through innovative instruction, personalized support, and a passion for student success. With strong family partnerships and a focus on academic and emotional growth, we empower our Bobcats to reach their fullest potential.

Big Cypress is more than a school—it’s a place where students grow, friendships form, and learning inspires confidence. We invite you to visit to experience the Bobcat difference!
