South Seminole Academy of Career Exploration

South Seminole Academy (SSA) is expanding opportunities for our students! In 2024, we received a $5.8 million grant (one of the largest ever received for a single school) which will empower learners to develop their leadership skills through career-themed programs. We have used this grant to reimagine and enhance the magnet program at SSA, transforming it into an innovative career-exploration Academy. With these funds, South Seminole Academy created a unique curriculum to support students as they explore potential career pathways. The theme for each pathway directly connects with CTE programs at our high schools providing a seamless transition after 8th grade. Students will have opportunities to participate in pathways based on their interests and exploration goals.

"We are thrilled to have been selected for this transformative magnet school grant, which will allow us to provide even greater opportunities for our students. The South Seminole Career Exploration Academy is an incredible initiative that will empower our students to explore various career paths, develop essential skills, and prepare for bright futures.”

Serita D. Beamon, Superintendent of SCPS
