St. Lucie County is indeed on the rise. Florida’s Treasure Coast is emerging as the premier site in the state for expanded research and education, as well as a highly desirable location for families and business enterprise. Thus a budding transformation of identity as Florida’s Research Coast casts the spotlight on public education as the cornerstone of the foundation for this emergence.

The entire St. Lucie County Public Schools family clearly recognizes the magnitude of our responsibility to the future of this community. We have pledged in partnership with the direction of devoted school board members, parents, and community partners, a laser-like focus to work harder, and smarter, for every child, every day. St. Lucie County is truly a community of collaboration that understands that a top quality educational system is a strategic component in the blueprint for success. And part of that blueprint is a minimum dress code standard, "Dress for Success," in place at all of our schools, which allows for individuality with student safety in mind.
