Panama City STEM building to be named after St Joe Community Foundation

PANAMA CITY The almost $19 million STEM building at Bay High School has a proposed name The St. Joe Community Foundation STEM Center. Bay District Schools has listed on the agenda for Tuesday s school board meeting a vote on whether to approve the name. Superintendent Bill Husfelt said he felt it would be a good gesture to name it after the St. Joe Community Foundation since it bought more than $300,000 of medical equipment that will go into the facility. Husfelt said the school district already had a good partnership with the St. Joe Community Foundation before Hurricane Michael, but after the storm the district has leaned on the nonprofit a lot. Whether it was to provide food or clothes for students, the foundation has pitched in to help.
