Kennesaw State University

Kennesaw State University has named more than 5,100 students to the President’s List in recognition of their academic excellence for the Fall 2021 semester.

Gulf Breeze Elementary teachers, Melody Griffin and Kary Workman, had their fifth-grade science classes dive deep into a science activity on celestial objects.

Students worked in small groups and created a 3D model of their object, along with an oral presentation.

Something as simple as a class name tag and a T-shirt might not mean much to the average 8-year-old, but to Lilliana Boczar, it means everything. Lilliana has two very rare genetic conditions; Rett Syndrome (RS) and Williams Syndrome (WS).

According to her parents, Stephan and Mari, she is the only medically documented case in the world with both.

Benjamin H. West II, Principal of Jay High School, recently stood before the Santa Rosa County School Board to request that the Facilities Naming Committee convene to consider renaming the gymnasium at JHS after one of its longtime coaches.

Coach John C. Smith worked in Santa Rosa County Schools for 40 years, 36 of which were spent as the head basketball coach at JHS.

Ashley Huggins has been teaching third graders at West Navarre Intermediate School (WNIS) for all 16 years of her career.

This year, Huggins finally accepted her nomination as Teacher of the Year for WNIS and won the award after years of declining.
