MARCH 2008 SCHOOL NEWS:
Orange County School Board approves offer to purchase land for Edgewater High renovation
As part of plans for the renovation of Edgewater High, board members approved a binding written offer of $26,927,365 to Demetree Builders, Inc.,the owner and tenants of land in the vicinity of the current school site. The need to purchase additional land was identified several years ago. The district’s Five Year Capital Plan calls for renovations of the Edgewater campus to be completed by the beginning of the 2010-11 school year. In order to meet that deadline, it will be necessary to begin renovations by the summer of 2008. The offer amount represents the highest of four separate appraisals conducted since January 2007, plus an estimated $648,365 for fixtures and immovable assets on the land occupied by a shopping center.

DON BUSBY, SR. DAY AT EDGEWATER HIGH SCHOOL
On April 18, 2007, players, coaches and friends honored Don Busby for 40 years of working with and teaching baseball to the youth of College Park. He started in 1966 with teams in College Park Little League. From there he moved on to coach at Lee Middle and Edgewater High. He has taught sons of some of the original little leaguers! Coach Busby saw his own sons and grandson play through all these organizations. He has worked tirelessly on the Edgewater High School basebell field for many years, keeping it in top condition. Needless to say, he LOVES the game! |

On Wednesday, February 21st, 2007, a team of three senior scholars from Edgewater High School participated in the annual Lockheed Martin sponsored "Who Wants to be an Engineer?" contest at the Orlando Science Center auditorium. This is part of "National Engineering Week" and an effort to promote engineering as a profession to aspiring scholars.
Adam Gray, Alan Espinoza, and John Schoomaker brought home the first place trophy for Edgewater High School. Oak Ridge, Lake Brantley, and Lyman high schools all entered strong academic teams in the quiz bowl competition patterned after the ABC television game show, "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"
The Eagle team answered some very tough questions covering math, physics, astronomy, biology, engineering, and computer science. After all rounds of questions were completed Edgewater and Lake Brantley were tied, but EHS was able to prevail in the tie-breaker question by coming closest to "the number of days it will take the current Lockheed Martin built space probe to travel to the planet Pluto".
Congratulations to this team and Mr. Paul Ackerman, EHS faculty sponsor, for winning first place and repeating as champions. And many thanks go to Lynwood Carter and the Lockheed Martin educational outreach committee for contributing their time and efforts to promoting engineering to the Central Florida community and local high schools.
