From the Coral Springs City Commission:
It is hard to believe we are already gearing up for another school year. The City of Coral Springs is excited to announce that 10 Coral Springs Schools received a grade of ‘A’ from the Department of Education for the 2021-2022 school year. To view our top-rated public and charter schools, the 2022-2023 Coral Springs Neighborhood Schools Guide is available to view. Visit City Hall to pick up a copy or view it online at CoralSprings.gov/schools.
To celebrate the upcoming school year, families are invited to join us for our inaugural Back to School Bash ice skating event at the Panthers Ice Den on Friday, August 12, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. This free event is one of many interactive activities our Parks and Recreation Department hosts throughout the year to bring families together.
