Palm Beach County’s largest education open house was a massive success as families packed the South Florida Fairgrounds for the 30th annual Showcase of Schools.

The landmark event allowed students and parents to connect directly with administrators and explore more than 330 dynamic academic pathways designed to power their futures.

Families have one deadline of December 4, 2026 to submit or modify applications for all programs.

We are at the end of Hispanic Heritage Month, and this week, we are honoring a teacher who brings that vibrant heritage to life every day. Liliana Esposito, is a Spanish teacher at Palmetto Elementary School. 

She doesn't just teach her students how to speak a new language, she completely opens up their world by diving deep into Spanish culture, history, and traditions. A special thank you to our sponsor, HCA Florida Healthcare, for helping us celebrate Ms. Esposito.

At this school, opportunity is everywhere. Their choice programs include an award-winning International Spanish Academy with more than 20 years of excellence.

Meet the students and staff at Okeeheelee Middle.
