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 can enroll in Cambridge (AICE) courses earning college credits and an AICE diploma.

Taking a break from school to go fishing across the street the right way! Recreation is another reason to restore Florida's Everglades.
Working with the Youth Environmental Alliance and their teachers to learn fishing rules and how to cast, freshmen knew the ethical and legal ways to practice the sport. |
Experimental Research emphasizes all parts of conservation of natural resources including water and soil quality and influences. Students enjoyed on-campus lessons with the YEA! scientists as they worked on the school gardens. After preparing the soil, adjusting the irrigation, plants are added. The on-campus work takes freshmen outdoors.
Spring brings harvest to the magnet and horticulture gardens. Students reap rewards by enjoying the "fruits of their labor" during class and in club meeting. More photos in COURSES 9-12. |
