Which came first, the chicken or the egg? At Maude Saunders Elementary, we say the agriculture program came first! The students had a special gift for Superintendent A. Russell Hughes – the very first egg laid by one of their hens! It's an EPIC start to what we know will be a highly successful new initiative!!

The ribbon was officially cut at the new Magnet Innovation Center and the renovated Emerald Coast Technical College (Watersound). The space is a true testament to the power of what is possible when Vision is fused with Collaboration and Innovation. The Magnet Innovation Center began as the brainchild of Superintendent A. Russell Hughes and is home to some of the most hands-on and innovative learning modalities available anywhere - but it's right here in your backyard. Thank you to our community partners, St. Joe Foundation, School Board, and all of those who attended to help celebrate this special occassion!
