Congratulations to Alexander Perez, one of three seniors selected to receive the Superintendent’s 2-Year @FloridaPrepaid College Scholarship!
This senior from @KingHSLions has had to overcome challenges that many of his peers could never begin to imagine. Despite it all, Alexander has excelled. He will graduate as the salutatorian of his class and plans to attend the @USouthFlorida, where he will major in psychology.
