OCPS students bring home GOLD from National FFA Convention Colonial High School FFA Chapter earns Gold Emblem Award Nov. 9, 2017 – Orange County Public Schools FFA students from multiple schools bring back national awards from the 90th National FFA Convention held in Indianapolis, IN. With over 67,000 attendees, FFA members from across the country came together attending leadership workshops, motivational presentations, business sessions, career expo and awards ceremony. The Colonial High School FFA Chapter won the Gold Emblem Award and placed second in the nation. This is the highest award that an Orange County FFA Chapter has received in a national FFA career development event. The team members (pictured in the top left photo) are: Ashton Santos, Jenna Ausburger, Sara Humphrey and Cameron Ramola. They are joined by the event coordinator (on left) and Orlando-Colonial HS FFA Teacher/Advisor, Ms. Caela Paioff (on right). Colonial’s FFA Chapter first earned the state championship in the Environmental Science CDE (Career Development Event) last January, earning the opportunity to represent Florida at the national level. The purpose of the FFA Environmental Science Career Development Event is to stimulate student interest and to promote environmental and natural resource instruction in the agricultural education curriculum and to provide recognition for those who have demonstrated skills and competencies as a result of environmental and natural resource instruction. Orange County FFA was well represented and received additional notable awards: Ocoee High School FFA earned the national 3-star rating SunRidge Middle School FFA and University High School FFA earned the national 2- star rating Two FFA members from Apopka High School FFA and one FFA member from the Wekiva High School FFA were awarded the American FFA Degree (highest membership degree in the National FFA Organization) (For more information, please contact Media Promotions at 407.317.3458) ### OCPS EEO Non-Discrimination Statement The School Board of Orange County, Florida, does not discriminate in admission or access to, or treatment or employment in its programs and activities, on the basis of race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, marital status, disability, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other reason prohibited by law.

OCPS Commencement Ceremonies Run May 20-28
ORANGE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS OCPS commencement ceremonies run May 20-28 May 20, 2019 – Orange County Public Schools started commencement ceremonies for our 20 traditional high schools. They run through May 28. We interviewed one graduating senior at each high school for our #OCPSGrads series of videos on Facebook and Twitter. These students are a sample of the talent, intellect and tenacity of our 14,000 graduates. Each has an amazing story. Those already published are hyperlinked below, listed alphabetically by school. (Those without hyperlinks will be published in the coming days.) Members of the news media are welcome to attend any OCPS graduation, but must make arrangements for entrance directly with the venue hosting the event (Amway Center or UCF Addition Arena). After making arrangements, please let us know which one(s) you will attend. Apopka High School (May 20, Amway Center, 2 p.m.) Hurricane Maria forced Carlos Rivera Colon and his family to leave their home and rebuild their lives in Central Florida. Carlos quickly immersed himself in the school culture by joining the Archery Club, and will be heading to the Marines after graduation. Boone High School (May 21, Addition Arena, 7:30 p.m.) Enrolling in the criminal justice magnet pushed Marlon Allen out of his comfort zone, and provided him a culturally diverse and academically rigorous education. This four-year varsity basketball letterman plans to major in business and journalism. Plays Basketball Colonial High School (May 20, Amway Center, 8:30 a.m.) Instead of coasting through senior year, Yohanna Torres Sanchez continued to reach for the highest level of academic excellence, taking 10 academic courses.

OCPS District Directory
OCPS District Directory Florida Relay 7-1-1 Florida Telecommunications Relay, Inc., referred to as Florida Relay 7-1-1, is a communications link for people who are deaf, hard of hearing, deaf/blind, or speech impaired. For example, this service can be used when school staff members need to talk to a deaf parent or when the parent calls the school. Here is how it works: Hearing callers trying to reach deaf or hard-of-hearing callers dial 7-1-1 and give the operator the 10-digit telephone number of the person they are trying to reach. The operator will ask them if they have used the relay service before and give a short narrative if not. They will then ask the person to hold while the call is connected. The operator will type everything said by the hearing person and read back the responses from the D/HH caller. Once connected, the hearing person should speak at a slow-moderate rate and say “go ahead” when it is the caller’s turn to talk. This process is similar to two-way radios needing to say “over” as the conversation proceeds back and forth. The OCPS Telephone Directory is produced by the District Information Office. Please notify Wanda Cocco at 407-317-3237 or [email protected] of any changes or corrections. To order additional copies of the OCPS Telephone Directory, contact Printing Services at 407.850.5110, or e-mail your request to: [email protected]. OCPS EEO Non-Discrimination Statement The School Board of Orange County, Florida, does not discriminate in admission or access to, or treatment or employment in its programs and activities, on the basis of race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, marital status, disability, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other reason prohibited by law.
