The Flagler County Youth Center on the campus of Flagler Palm Coast High School celebrated its 20th birthday on Oct. 1.
“From the beginning, this center has provided a safe and welcoming place for students to learn, grow and connect beyond the classroom,” said Flagler County Commission Chair Andy Dance, who joined in the celebration.
Former Youth Center director and School Board member Cheryl Massaro called the center “the safest place in Flagler County for kids to be.”
Matanzas High School’s entrepreneurship and hospitality class held a ribbon-cutting Oct. 3, promoted by the DECA Club, for the school’s new “Spirit Box.”
The Spirit Box is a place where students can purchase school swag with the funds reinvested back into the program fueling future student innovation and growth.
The Spirit Box was made possible through support from the Flagler County Education Foundation, Hunter Grant, Intracoastal Bank, AdventHealth Palm Coast, and the Palm Coast-Flagler Regional Chamber of Commerce.

The Flagler Palm Coast High School ESE department has received a brand new, high-efficiency washer and dryer to help support students in developing essential life skills, the Flagler County Education Foundation announced. The new appliances will provide hands-on learning that will empower the students with independence and real-world experience.
