Booker High football gets talent injection for 2024 season
How did the Booker High football program follow a 9-5 season and a trip to the Florida High School Athletic Association Class 2S state semifinals?. The Tornadoes are entering year three under Head Coach Scottie Littles and have shown improvement each season. In 2023, thanks to a hard-charging running game, a big-play passing game and an athletic defense, Booker put together a successful season and got better as the year moved forward, peaking in a 38-32 regional final road win over Bishop Verot High and quarterback Carter Smith, a University of Michigan commit. Though the Tornadoes' dream postseason run came to an end with a 41-3 loss to Cocoa High the following week, it was a level of success Booker had not seen in a long time.

Hospital Donates Supplies to Nursing Students at Suncoast Technical College on Their First Day of School
Students studying nursing at Suncoast Technical College got a boost of support on the first day of school. HCA Florida Sarasota Doctors Hospital donated school supplies for every student in the nursing program. More than 120 students received stethoscopes, pen lights and other supplies needed for the nursing program along with supplies like notebooks, pens and markers that are needed in the classroom. Harry Walk, RN, Assistant Chief Nursing Officer at HCA Florida Sarasota Doctors Hospital greeted the students and gave them some advice on a career in nursing. “I didn’t start out to be a nurse, but I wanted to care for people…there are a lot of opportunities to work in different areas in nursing so take all the opportunities afforded to you. Welcome to nursing,” Walk added. “Donations like this are very beneficial. The start-up costs for nursing school can be expensive for some students. This also helps our students build relationships with a potential employer in the community,” said Ron DiPillo, Executive Director of Suncoast Technical College. This is the second year the hospital has donated supplies to all nursing students at Suncoast Technical College.

From the Frontlines of the MAGA War on Higher Education: The Ms. Q&A With New College of Florida Professor Amy Reid
“New College is a flashpoint for what’s going on. We’re a cautionary tale,” New College of Florida gender studies director Amy Reid told Ms. In January of 2023, New College of Florida in Sarasota was the state’s only public liberal honors arts college, with a motto of “educating free thinkers, risk takers and trailblazers.” But a right-wing takeover has led to a mass exodus of professors and students and violations of academic freedom and potentially state laws.
