The Downtown PS8 community school was honored with the Trendsetter Award by the Urban Land Institute Central Florida. The award recognizes the PS8 school as the project
or initiative that “best exemplifies forward-thinking ideas and practices that represent what is perhaps the “industry’s next big trend” for Central Florida in 2017.
OCPS’ first preschool through eighth-grade school will open at the corner of Amelia Street and Parramore Avenue in August 2017. The unique school will combine the small-school feel of a K-8 with a preschool wing that will serve two- and three-year-olds through a partnership with the Rosen Foundation.
