Welcome...
Restoring the Everglades​

     South Plantation's Magnet is the only high school magnet program in the world dedicated to preserving Florida's fragile Everglades. This website was created by web design student Ashlyn Valdes for her senior project to showcase how the South Plantation High students are working to share their environmental stewardship with the community. They have the opportunity to enroll in Cambridge (AICE) courses earning college credits and an AICE diploma.

Sloggers Go Chest-Deep in Glades

Picture
     A memorable trip through the years has been the slogging and airboat experience.
     After learning on the spot at the Sawgrass Recreation Park, 9th graders learned how "we are all affected because we are all connected" - the basic theme of the magnet program. 
     On the airboat students identified wildlife and tested the water. More photos in FIELD TRIPS.

Juniors Learn On-Location​

Picture
    A goal of the SPH magnet program is to study subject details in person and not just from a textbook as they did at the Carpenter House in Dania. Juniors in the AICE Global Perspectives (Research 3- magnet required class) toured the Marine Environment Education Center (MEEC). They used their fishing skills learned in earlier years. See more photos in FIELD TRIPS.
