The School District of Palm Beach County "Celebrates The Great"
The A-rated School District of Palm Beach County, along with the Education Foundation of Palm Beach County, honors the 2023 Principal, Assistant Principal, Teacher, and School-Related Employee of the Year during the inaugural ‘Celebrate the Great’ award ceremony at the Cox Science Center and Aquarium.
These winners will represent the District as they go on to compete at the state level as part of the Florida Department of Education recognition programs.
How Students Are Contributing to District Decision-Making
On January 30, the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Committee (SSAC) hosted its inaugural meeting. This committee is composed of the District's high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors who reflect the diverse enrollment, and is an advisory committee reporting directly to the Superintendent. The purpose of the SSAC is to elevate student voices and experiences to inform school and District decision-making.
This week's "Thank a Teacher" surprise filled the halls at Roosevelt Middle School with the school's band, cheerleaders, and Ms. Rochelle Glenn's former students. The Medical Magnet & Biomedical Science teacher shed many happy tears as she was greeted by more than 100 students outside her classroom during the celebration. For her dedication and commitment to teaching, Ms. Glenn wins the Thank a Teacher certificate and a check for $150 from HCA Florida Healthcare!
How the District is Helping Students Claim Their Future!
In collaboration with the Business Development Board of PBC, high school students are being prepared for in-demand careers. High school students from all across Palm Beach County were in attendance for the annual “Claim Your Future” Showcase as they networked with 50 of the County's top corporate citizens in preparation for their next steps after graduation.
