The University of North Florida, one of the closest colleges to The Broach Schools in Jacksonville, has been busy turning heads in the community with a robotic sub that is now circling the University of North Florida Aquatic Center.
With our students, especially our seniors getting ready to graduate in a week, it's time to look for potential college. And UNF is making it clear that it is a good choice among many options for our students. UNF has always made improvements and have gone above and beyond to show the community that its students work hard and this is just one example.
The UNF team’s handmade sub wowed judges at a regional competition in April organized by the Marine Advanced Technology Education Center for remotely operated vehicles.
BlueRay was the first UNF group to ever sign up for the competitionm and they still took first place, beating the University of South Florida in addition to many other state schools.
Any students interested in pursuing an engineering career could have a variety of opportunities to participate in activities just like this one at the University of North Florida.

Contests bring more awareness to causes
A Flagler Beach fifth grader placed second in the U. S. Department of Justice's 2010 National Missing Children's Day Poster Contest. Out of 43 entries from Florida students, Old Kings Elementary School student Thomas DeLeon's placed second nationally for his poster, "Bring Our Missing Children Home," according to The Times-Union.
This national contest promotes awareness of missing and exploited children issues. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement says 46,965 children were reported missing in the state in 2009. Florida's Missing Endangered Persons Information Clearinghouse, housed at FDLE, provided direct assistance in the recovery of 108 of them.
Schools everywhere in Jacksonville are getting more and more involved with city projects in order to help bring more awareness to causes that can't always get the word out. The Broach Schools are looking into projects and hope to make a difference outside of its school walls.

High School Students voicing their Opinions
Terry Parker High School students gave visiting officials an earful Monday, talking about teacher quality, school safety and college-prep programs. Most had high praise for their new principal.
The Broach School is making numerous changes in order to benefit its students so they can build their skills and learn more and more so they can be challenged on a daily basis. For example, we're adding a college preparatory academy, a school without walls program to promote further internship and job possibilities outside of school and a new arts program at our Beach location.
It's important for students to be able to voice their opinion on concerns they have or even ideas. Society thinks that kids are just kids and we can't learn from them, when in fact most of them are smarter than the average person.
The conversation with Terry Parker students was the second in a series of face-to-face feedback sessions with students with members of the Duval County School Board. The board invited the Jacksonville City Council to Monday’s session. Six council
members said they’d come, but only Clay Yarborough, Don Redman and Art Graham showed up, according to the Florida Times-Union.
It's good that leaders in the community are giving the youth a chance and a voice because good things can always come with chances and opportunities.
