Yesterday, Director Shook and Mr. Byers had the pleasure of delivering “Future Phoenix” yard signs to each of our incoming RISE students.
Over the next few days, we’ll be sharing photos from these special deliveries. A sincere thank you to Director Shook for taking part in this annual tradition of welcoming our newest class!
Here is a photo of one of the signs we delivered!

We are thrilled to welcome and introduce the newest class of the Phoenix RISE Program!

Yesterday, we celebrated and said farewell to Kim Taylor as she begins her well-earned retirement after 36 years of dedicated service with Pasco County Schools. We are incredibly grateful for the countless lives she has impacted and for her instrumental role in helping launch the Phoenix Rise Program. Ms. Kim’s kindness, commitment, and positive influence will be deeply missed. Wishing her all the best and much happiness as she begins this exciting new chapter!

Please join me in congratulating our inaugural Specialized Career Instruction – Comprehensive graduates! We are incredibly proud of the hard work, perseverance, and determination each of these students has shown throughout the year. We could not have asked for a better group of students to help launch our program and set such a strong foundation for future success.
I would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the families and loved ones who supported our students and helped them get here each and every day. Thanks to everyone’s dedication and commitment, our inaugural class achieved an outstanding 98.6% attendance rate this school year!

Please join me in congratulating Stephen on earning his Customer Service Specialist through ETA International! Nice job Stephen!

Please join us in congratulating Aphrodite on being honored by the Rotary Club of New Port Richey after receiving the Award of Excellence from Fred K. Marchman Technical College.
We are incredibly proud of all the students recognized by Rotary and are confident they will leave FKMTC equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in today’s workforce.

Please consider voting for Fred K. Marchman Technical College for the best Trade/Vocational School/College for this year’s Tampa Bay Best of the Best 2026!!!

Victoria and Joseph demonstrate their skills during their full day shadowing experience in the Professional Culinary Arts and Hospitality Program!

Mr. Byers had the pleasure of being hosted by the STEEL Program at Ridge Technical College, where he joined their monthly Lunch & Learn session. Attendees enjoyed a nacho bar while gaining valuable insights from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office on how to protect themselves from identity theft, fraud, and scams. It was a great day!
