On this Heroes’ Day, we honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and express our deepest gratitude to the brave first responders, service members, and everyday heroes who protect and serve our community and country.
Seeing our district students and staff wear their patriotic best was a powerful reminder of the spirit of togetherness that binds us. Thank you to our entire Clay County District Schools family for showing such pride, heart, and reverence today. We will never forget. ❤️🤍💙

It was a privilege to join Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Congressman Aaron Bean, local elected leaders, and our dedicated partners from Clay County Fire Rescue and the Clay County Sheriff’s Office as we gathered to mark 25 years and honor the heroes of September 11, 2001.
Representing our district at the podium, Superintendent David Broskie, School Board members Erin Skipper, Robert Alvero, Beth Clark, Michele Hanson, and Ashley Gilhousen, Chief of Staff Kelly Watt, and Chief Communications & Community Engagement Officer Sabrina Thomas read the names of fallen first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice on 9/11/2001.
As a school district, we hold a profound responsibility to teach the history, bravery, and unity of September 11th to our students—the next generation who will carry these memories forward. By teaching these vital lessons and pausing to honor the lives lost on 9/11 Heroes' Day, we uphold our community's sacred promise so that we truly Never Forget.
We Remember. We Honor. We Educate. ❤️🤍💙

A strong foundation makes all the difference! 🛠️🏫
Today, we had the privilege of hosting our Maintenance Leadership Team as they presented to Superintendent Broskie and his Cabinet. While you see clean classrooms and bright hallways every day, these dedicated professionals are working around the clock behind the scenes to build the strong foundation our teachers and students rely on.
Did you know?
⚙️ A Massive Network of Care: Our Maintenance Department is made up of specialized teams—including Electrical, HVAC, Plumbing, Carpentry, Locksmith, Roofing, Paint, Grounds, Commercial Kitchen, Warehouse, Custodial, and Building Automation Systems (BAS)—working together every single day to keep our facilities running.
🚨 24/7 Rapid Response: They maintain a continuous standby team ready around the clock for critical emergencies and immediate on-call resolutions to keep our schools safe and operational.
🌪️ Storm-Ready Protection: From pre-storm facility securing to post-storm cleanup and restoration, this team manages end-to-end hurricane preparedness to ensure our campuses can safely reopen as quickly as possible.
From restoring facilities after severe weather to keeping our air conditioning running in the Florida heat, this team does so much more than "fix things." They make sure our students have safe, clean, and comfortable environments where they can focus on learning and growing.
We are so incredibly proud of this team and the vital role they play in our mission to put students first.
Give this post a ❤️ to show your appreciation for the Maintenance Department staff who keep Clay County District Schools running strong! 💙
