STREET PAINTING FESTIVAL SUCCESS 🎨
The concrete turned into canvas for student and staff in the School District of Palm Beach County who participated in the annual Street Painting Festival in Lake Worth Beach this past weekend.
The event is an opportunity to showcase the talent, creativity, and hard work of our many students and teachers. We are so impressed by their artistry and determination!

"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 🕊️
In honor of the life and legacy of Dr. King, all School District of Palm Beach County schools and offices are closed today, Monday, January 19, 2026.
As we reflect on these words, we remain committed to fostering both the intelligence and the character of every student we serve.
