Shorecrest opens program for teens graduating high school but not ready for college
Lloyd Sowers reports
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Teens who are graduating from other schools and not ready for college are going to Shorecrest Preparatory School in St. Petersburg for a gap year.
"This is designed for students who feel like they’ve missed out on their high school experience and for those who feel like they’re not ready to go off to college," says Nancy Spencer, head of school.
Spencer says across the nation, closed classrooms and distance learning were setbacks and some college-bound seniors felt the effects.
