ORANGE PARK, Fla. – Across three schools in the Town of Orange Park, there are more than 1,700 students, and the Clay County School District says work is underway on each campus to keep facilities up-to-date.
Orange Park Elementary is the oldest school in Orange Park.
The other two are Grove Park Elementary and Orange Park Junior High.
All three schools in the district partner with the University of North Florida to offer year-long internships to students at the university who are majoring in education.
It’s part of Project PREP, which aims to prepare college students for teaching roles to address teaching shortages.
