Excitement Builds as Community Awaits New Evans HS
The official grand opening of Evans full-service school in Pine Hills is not until August 2012, but already there’s lots of excitement and strong positive energy emanating from the community, says Charlene Sears-Tolbert, director of Central Florida’s first community school. Even those who don’t fully understand the community concept, just seeing the visible building rising out of the ground, there’s excitement that something new is going on at Evans.
Evans HS Continues To Turn Out Scholars
It’s Maynard Evans High School — an IB World School since April 2008, offering the IB Middle Years Program and authorized to offer the IB Diploma Program since December 2008. That’s correct! Beginning with 75 students in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program, there are now over 350 students in the program and it continues to grow. Two students earned IB Diplomas from Evans’ first graduating class in 2010 and 28 students in the program received 47 college level credits.
