🎓CELEBRATING #CTEMONTH🎓
Our Career & Technical Education (CTE) Department has prepared guidebooks for all 8th graders across the District. These books were created with the "Explore My Future" CTE Academy Showcase in mind. They give students a roadmap to the different learning and career opportunities available to them in our high schools.

FINS UP, EVERYONE! It's time to celebrate another one of our amazing Sharks!! Eighth grade student Palm City Scout John Dye will receive Medal of Merit from the Gulf Stream Council on February 8th for his heroics during a 2019 FAU/FIU football game! His quick thinking saved a woman in the stands from a powerfully errant football. John was injured as he selflessly went into action to protect those around him, but John wouldn't have done anything differently and won't think twice about doing it again. John is a true hero!
