Landon Evans Selected Florida Senate Page
Landon Evans was one of seven Orange Park High School students who applied to be a Florida Senate Page with the Children's Home Society of Florida. He was selected to participate and go to Tallahassee at the end of January. Landon and his peers from Community Partnership Schools around the state got to meet senators, the governor, and take tours of the FDLE building and the House Chamber. They drafted their own bills and took those to a mock committee and session.
Congratulations to Keystone Heights Junior-Senior High School student Caleb Moncrief who made it to the next round as a candidate in the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program!
He is one of more than 5,000 candidates in the 2022 U.S. Presidential Scholars Program. The candidates were selected from nearly 3.6 million students expected to graduate from U.S. high schools in 2022.
Inclusion in the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program is one of the highest honors bestowed upon graduating high school seniors.
