School Board member, Kathryn Hensley, and board media staff, Janice Karst, took me on a tour of Fort Pierce Central High School today. Located at 4101 S. 25th St, this is St. Lucie's newest school. I saw impressive evidence of just a few of the specialized career courses they have, including aeronautical/aviation, allied health sciences, culinary arts, and digital production. FP Central partners with Embry Riddle Aviation and Moore Solution Software Learning Centers to help students be prepared for careers. The picture, taken from the second floor open corridor, shows lunch time beginning, with the mural, "Pride Makes the Difference." FP Central Assistant Principal, Susie Seal, gave the tour, and gave me a button, "Celebrate the B," celebrating the school's state rating increase to grade B from grade D.
