Can you believe summer is almost over? One sure sign that the school year is about to begin is Ponte Vedra High School’s Back to School Saturday, which will be held on August 7th. Incoming students will be able to pick-up their schedules, textbooks and lockers as well as find the location of their classes on the school campus. I think having the school open on a Saturday before school starts is a great idea and one more reason that the St. Johns County School District was rated the best school district in the state of Florida in 2009.

The St. John County School District, which serves Ponte Vedra Beach and St. Augustine, was rated the #1 public school district in the state of Florida last year. One of the special features of our school district are the “academies” that are offered at each high school. Academies are considered smaller learning communities within a high school. They integrate academic and career related curriculum, team teaching and involvement from local businesses. Field trips, mentoring and real world activities are also important components of the learning envirnoment.
