We’re looking for a passionate Health Science Teacher to guide students interested in nursing and healthcare careers while helping cultivate future Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). This is an opportunity to make a lasting impact by preparing students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to serve others through healthcare.

If you’re ready to shape tomorrow’s nurses and healthcare leaders, we’d love to hear from you!

🧑🏼‍🍳🍳Does your student love to cook or enjoy getting creative in the kitchen? This is their moment!

Florida Future Chef is a statewide culinary competition that invites Florida students to showcase their creativity using nutritious ingredients grown right here in Florida, for a chance to compete at a live finale event and win up to $5,000 in a Florida Prepaid Savings Plan.

Students are challenged to design a school meal that brings together at least three of the five key components: fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy or dairy alternatives. Along the way, they’ll build confidence, practice real-world skills, and explore how food connects to fuel for your body, agriculture, and creativity.
