The Flagler County Youth Center is open for 6th-12th grade students. Operational hours are 2:00pm-6:30pm. The Youth Center is a fabulous facility for county youth to stop in and socialize for FREE. The only requirement for participation is that every student must scan their Flagler County School ID card to enter. The Youth Center is the result of a unique collaboration between Flagler County & the Flagler County School Board.

On September 10th, we hosted a PBIS Grade Check celebration to recognize students for their academic success. Those who maintained strong grades were rewarded with pizza, chips, and drinks as a token of appreciation for their hard work.

We will host another PBIS grade check on October 13th after the gradebook closes for the 1st quarter.
