Marco Island's Charter High School

The Marco Island High School is getting closer to a reality.  They have already hired teachers and have had 58 students apply for admission.  They anticipate 175 - 200 students the first year.

Students will have the opportunity to take a course in Biology that will include lesson plans written by the director of education for Jean-Miclael Cousteau's Ocean Futures.  They have an affiliation with Cornell University in New York where the students can attend summer college and receive college credits.  Football will be coached by former NFL football player Mike Vanderjagt.

This is a great addition to the community of Marco Island.  For more information, you can visit their website at http://www.marcoislandacademy.com/.
