World-class Education for a Lifetime of Success By Quezia Salgado
As another school year wraps up students lose sleep to get those last minute study sessions in, teachers race to turn in test grades, and parents can’t help but become overwhelmed with the nostalgic feeling of seeing their high school graduates go off to college. In the midst of the chaos that goes on behind the scenes of the preparations for prom and graduation, the Boca community has many reasons to be proud of its students, who continue to shine in South Florida, displaying outstanding levels of excellence in their academic achievements. The success of Palm Beach county schools in equipping their students is a result of the collaboration among students, teachers, and parents. In recognition of this continued effort for excellence in education, Palm Beach and Martin County students are presented each year with the Pathfinder High School Scholarship Awards, given to those who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in 18 academic, vocational and athletic categories. Pathfinders is sponsored by Palm Beach Newspapers, Inc., and this year, out of the 72 students awarded, 11 were from Boca Raton public schools, which include Olympic Heights, Spanish River, West Boca, and Boca High. With six students awarded, Boca Raton High principal Geoff McKee attributes this recognition to the hard work of students and teachers alike, “[the students] are trying their hardest because it’s important to them that they succeed; the students’ desire to be prepared feeds the teachers’ interest in preparing them, and those two factors complement each other very well.” Conntinue on Page 4
