Tradition Preparatory High School Hosts Second Annual Student Symposium

Tradition Preparatory High School held its second annual Student Symposium, coordinated by junior Kimber Grillo and sponsored by Mattamy Homes and The Cottages. The event highlighted the academic achievements and community involvement of Tradition Prep students.

The Symposium featured a college and career fair that included booths from various organizations, such as Indian River State College, Palm Beach Atlantic University, Marsh & McLennan Insurance, Palm Beach International Aviation, local banks, businesses, law enforcement agencies, and several branches of the U.S. military. Students valued the opportunity to explore these diverse career paths.

Scheduled exploratory sessions offered a variety of options, including several TED Talks. One notable talk was on public service and civic engagement, led by Port St. Lucie City Councilman David Pickett.  

Several students enjoyed the spotlight as they led numerous Master Classes and informational sessions, including Drawing, Dance, and Creative Writing.

Practical skills lessons, including resume writing, interview techniques, SAT preparation tips, FAFSA application assistance, and financial literacy, enhanced the skills of attendees.

Outside, students observed K-9 and SWAT demonstrations, tested their skills on an agility course, explored aquaponics, and experienced farming by interacting with chickens.  

A fashion show featuring Tradition Prep students showcasing stylish prom attire from sponsors Men's Wearhouse and My Crowning Closet brought loud, festive cheers from their peers as they walked the runway!

Of this year's Symposium, Principal Christiana Coburn said, "We are proud to provide students with opportunities to analyze current research and innovation in our community.  At Tradition Preparatory we strive to prepare students for our constantly evolving workforce.”
