San Pedro Adult Continuing Education

The San Pedro community and other generous donors came together on Friday, October 27th, to support a fundraiser for the reconstruction of parts of the main building of the San Pedro High School (SPHS). The school administration stated they need $350,000 to complete all necessary repairs in their main building. A telethon held throughout Friday saw donations toward this worthy cause from individuals and stakeholders. One of those stakeholders was Caye International Bank (CIB), who not only made a monetary donation but has created a GoFundMe page to raise funds on behalf of SPHS at https://gofund.me/bbc1c852. At the end of the day, a total of $210,346 was raised in the telethon, a satisfactory amount that will aid in the ongoing works at the school.

The island's only secondary education institution, the San Pedro High School (SPHS), is seeking to raise $350,000 to fund the repairs of three sections of their main building. These include an area of the floor in their computer laboratory, the entire ceiling of the staff room, and the science laboratory. As a result, some classrooms in the main facility are not in use until there are repairs. To accommodate the shortage of classrooms, students are currently on a shift system whereby first and second formers attend classes in the morning and senior students in the afternoon.

The graduation season continues on La Isla Bonita. On Friday, June 16th, the San Pedro Adult Continuing Education (SPACE) celebrated its 11th Commencement Exercise, honoring 18 students with their high school diplomas. SPACE, operating as part of the San Pedro Junior College (SPJC), is the night division of secondary studies on the island. Located within the San Pedro High School and SPJC campus, SPACE continues to see an increase in student population, helping islanders finish their high school studies.

The island’s two secondary education programs, San Pedro High School (SPHS) and San Pedro Adult Continuing Education (SPACE) held commencement exercises over the weekend. With a total of 117 students receiving high school diplomas. This marks a record number of students graduating on the island.

On June 10, 2018, 17 proud graduates received their San Pedro Adult Continuing Education (SPACE) diploma, a symbol of hard work and achievement.

The purpose of the presentation was to explain the new marijuana amendment law that seeks to decriminalize the possession of up to 10 grams per person.

San Pedro Adult Continuing Education (SPACE) held its fifth Commencement Exercises on Sunday, June 11th at the Angel Nuñez Auditorium.

The weekend of Saturday, June 11th and Sunday, June 12th was a celebration of two secondary institutions’ graduation of class of 2016 ceremonies.
