PALATKA – Florida School of the Arts recently bid farewell to graduates now on their way to pursue careers in art galleries, on stage or behind the scenes in the entertainment industry. Many will continue their education at universities before finding their niche in the arts. The College honored students who received their associate degrees in the visual and performing arts at the St. Johns River State College Palatka campus.
Outstanding graduates were recognized during the ceremony, including Clay County resident Lydia Isabella Borko, who received the award for Outstanding Graduate in the Visual Arts.
Florida School of the Arts graduates representing Clay County are as follows: Jahleel Christian, Naomi Huff, Sean Mansfield, Jeff Parmenter, Emily Poehlman, Angelee Ramos, Melanie Rodriguez and Yasmin Rohena.
The commencement speech was given by FloArts alumna “Monet.” Monet is a graduate from Harvard University in affiliation with the Tony Award-winning American Repertory Theatre. Monet has also studied abroad at the world-renowned Moscow Art Theatre School. She currently resides in New York City where she is pursuing her acting career.
Florida School of the Arts is part of the academic and administrative structure of SJR State and awards the two-year associate degree in the following areas of study: visual art, stage management, dance performance, theater technology, acting and musical theater. The School serves the entire state of Florida. Admission is based on an audition or portfolio review, an interview with the faculty and admission to SJR State.
