Congratulations to three outstanding leaders from the School District of Indian River County, Osceola Magnet School Assistant Principal Juliette Carroll, Vero Beach Elementary Principal Sarah Van Brimmer, and Vero Beach High School Principal Rachel Serra Finnegan, on successfully completing the Florida Department of Education's 2025-26 Chancellor's Leadership Academy (CLA).

The Chancellor's Leadership Academy is a prestigious professional learning opportunity designed to strengthen transformational leadership and support continuous improvement across Florida's schools. Through this rigorous program, participants deepen their understanding of Florida's academic standards, strengthen their ability to support high-quality instruction, enhance skills in teacher coaching and feedback, and develop expertise in monitoring instructional practices that drive student achievement.

The academy also fosters a statewide network of highly skilled educational leaders committed to implementing data-driven systems that improve instruction and student outcomes for all students.

We are proud of Ms. Carroll, Ms. Van Brimmer, and Ms. Serra Finnegan for their dedication to professional growth and their commitment to excellence in education. Their leadership will continue to make a positive impact on our schools, staff, and students.

Please join us in congratulating these exceptional leaders on this remarkable accomplishment.

The Osceola Globe, May edition. Have a cool summer!

Our third graders recently got the ultimate flight lesson from the sky-whisperer himself, Mr. Corey, who schooled them on the four forces of flight and the art of jet design. Armed with this new-found wisdom, the kiddos transformed straws into mini jets, complete with wings and fins, and then launched them into action, tweaking their designs like little aerospace engineers!

Happy Mother's Day! Here are our latest Explorer Updates.
