As our newer members may not know, Rotary has always championed the value of Vocational Education/Training. The Rotary calendar has a month (January) designated explicitly for emphasis.
Great news for vocational programs! According to a very informative article in the Pensacola News Journal on August 23rd, Navarre High School students enrolled in the welding program will not have to leave campus for classes starting next fall.
Charlin Knight, Santa Rosa School District Workforce Education director, said the district will expand its Welding Technology Program to on-site training at Navarre High.
“It’s a high-demand elective for our high school students. There is always a waiting list, and with the on-site program, we can double and triple the class size,” Knight said of the program now offered at Locklin Technical College in Milton.
The expansion of Navarre’s welding program is a result of the school district being named a Space Florida Academy. On Aug. 1, Santa Rosa County District Schools was one of 23 Florida school districts to enter a partnership with Space Florida, the state’s aerospace finance and development authority, to begin implementing the Space Florida Academy Program.
The Space Florida Academy Program aims to connect students with the high-demand credentials and skills necessary to work in the aerospace industry—credentials that may not have been traditionally associated with the industry.

Rotary was started by four business people who wanted to help the city of Chicago. It has morphed into a worldwide philanthropic organization, topped by no one or no other organization. Google any city, add Rotary to the search, and see for yourself. Then check out any charity on Charity Navigator and see the money spent helping others compared to their leadership salaries. Oh, my. Unless you are filthy rich and can throw money away, this alone will have you giving to Rotary and nowhere else. If you are the average Joe or Sue and want to help people with the right resources, check out Rotary. Whether it is your time or money, you will love Rotary—Cantonment Rotary: New Year Full of Opportunities.
