Last Tuesday, the Fellows in Education Class visited West Florence High School.

The visit and the lunch were nothing short of incredible as students, faculty, and school staff worked hard to plan and share a school presentation, tour, and classroom activities for the group of 30 community leaders.

Fellows in Education is a joint program between Florence 1 Schools, The School Foundation and the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce and is designed to give local community leaders a unique, behind-the-scenes look into schools across Florence 1 over the course of eight months.
