 Every May, we interview high school seniors. The stories vary from the valedictorian to athletes signing with their dream college, scholarship recipients to the comeback kid –who almost didn’t make it to graduation. What they all have in common is a teacher, administrator or coach who made sure the student got the support they needed and never lost sight of the finish line.

On this episode you’ll hear from Keo-Monte Crawford senior at Everglades Preparatory in Belle Glades, Florida whose teachers didn’t give up on him –even when he felt disheartened. That drove him to put in the extra work to raise his grades. This fall, Keo-Monte will be attending Valdosta State University in Georgia.


The voice of the charter school movement, the Florida Charter School Alliance (FCSA) is non-profit, member-driven organization. Our mission is to improve student achievement, teacher quality, and promote parental choice by advocating for, supporting, defending, and collaborating with public charter schools.

Our member schools serve approximately 58% of the charter school student population in Florida and run the gamut of choice educational programs – ranging from urban to rural campuses, from programs specializing in exceptional students or drop-off prevention to unique classical curriculum, and college-prep programs in high-need areas. Yet all our member schools have a common thread – a steadfast commitment to raising the bar on public education and providing a quality education option to the children and communities they serve.

There are more than 341,900 public charter school students in Florida. If Florida charter schools were a district, it would be the 2nd largest school district in the state. #FloridaCharterSchoolAlliance
