Public schools often tend to get a bad rap. From scandals of Homecoming Queens fixing votes to students torturing teachers for TikTok content, it’s easy to get lost in all the bad news.

   The Blue and Gold staff feels that it is high time we stop to notice all of the good things a public school can do. We are here to spread the good news! First off, all fall sports are in post-season play here at the Breeze: from cross country to swimming to golf to football. We are truly crushing it in athletics!

   The greatness doesn’t just stop at sports; ROTC, with field trips and guest speakers, is modeling future defenders of our country. On top of that, Drama and Mock Trial are off and running — winning in their competitions!

   Many clubs and honor societies are participating in drives and other projects to benefit the community.

   Just recently, Gulf Breeze High School has made up 3/4ths of SRCSD’s Academic Team (A-Team).

   You can “Expect Excellence” from this public school!
