I am very optimistic and thrilled to be a part of the Marco Island Charter High School Academy. The land was donated for a school by the Mackle Brothers for free! It will be wonderful to see this prestigious high school prosper for all our teenagers. This is all about creating another choice for education on a beautiful piece of real estate that was zoned for a school. The idea was that this school site was donated to the Island for free. For a school we so dearly deserve to enjoy for years to come. There are other sites to place our school but the truth is - that the other sites will cost a lot of money to purchase. What amazes me is how prudent, Jane Watt, Founding Board Member - is able to keep operational costs so low or almost nonexistent.

She is such a visionary who can get the community to share in the responsibilities and use their talents or monetary gifts to make this school so successful and without heavy debt.

That is why we are not giving up on receiving Track K from the District School Board. This parcel was intended to benefit public education on Marco Island, 9-12. Jane Watt, her Board of Director Team, and all of the volunteers at large - are legacy builders for educating our teenagers locally. And we are doing this in a wise and prudent manner to stay as debt free as possible!

Congratulations and Go Marco Island High School! HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011 TO OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY WITH LOVE AND GOOD CHEER!!!!!!!
