Fort Walton Beach High School Minority Council students had an incredible opportunity last month visiting Florida A&M University!
During their campus tour, students explored academic programs, learned about college life, and gained insight into the rich history and culture of the school.
Experiences like this help broaden horizons, inspire future goals, and empower our students to dream big about what’s next after high school!

Employees from the Okaloosa County School District were proud to participate in the City of Crestview’s Juneteenth Celebration! On June 19th, we commemorate the end of slavery in the United States and honor the strength, culture, and lasting contributions of African Americans. It’s a day to celebrate freedom, reflect on our shared history, and promote unity.
