In total, 19 BCPS schools received awards, including two schools that also earned prestigious Top Schools of Excellence awards, the highest award level that can be achieved following a comprehensive application process. Fort Lauderdale High School earned the top honor for its Cambridge magnet program and Pompano Beach High School earned the recognition for its International Affairs with Information Technology magnet program. They are among 24 schools in the nation – including only nine schools in Florida – to be selected as Top Schools of Excellence.
