Dr. Asplen on Beach 105.5 News Radio
On Friday, May 8, 2026, Superintendent Dr. Asplen spoke with Beach 105.5 News Radio about awards season in St. Johns County schools.
Transcript
Liz Ryan: This local news is a service of your hometown Toyota dealer, Beaver Toyota in St. Augustine. Conveniently located right off I-95 at exit 3-11.
Dr. Asplen: This is the time of year where we have our awards evenings at all different levels.
Liz Ryan: It’s that time of year where graduation celebrations are everywhere. I spoke to St. John County Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Brennan Asplen, about Wednesday night’s Beachside High School Award Night. He was clearly very proud.
Dr. Asplen: Beachside High School has 570 seniors who will be graduating on May 20th. And of those 570, there were 390 students there receiving awards. And it was just amazing to hear all the accolades and all the different activities and areas in which they are participating and receiving high end awards and the GPAs were outstanding. So many of the students are at 4.0 and above, which is pretty amazing, but also to listen to all the colleges that they are going to and the scholarships that they are receiving. And those 390 students, for instance, it was over $8 million in scholarships that they received.
Liz Ryan: Tune into Good Morning, St. Augustine this Sunday at 6 a.m. I’ll sit down with Superintendent Asplen for a full 30 minutes, and we’ll cover a wide range of topics that affect students, parents, teachers, and the taxpayers who are funding the schools. For St. Augustine’s Local News, I’m Liz Ryan.

ST. AUGUSTINE, FL — The St. Johns County School District is now accepting applications for the second window of Controlled Open Enrollment. For this window, there are sixteen schools available: Crookshank Elementary School, Cunningham Creek Elementary School, Freedom Crossing Academy, W. D. Hartley Elementary School, Hickory Creek Elementary School, Julington Creek Elementary School, Ketterlinus Elementary School, R. J.

The application window is open from February 2 through February 20 and is available to all Florida residents. Controlled Open Enrollment is a state-wide school choice option that allows families to choose schools outside of their district-assigned attendance boundary, based on availability.
The St. Johns County School District is one of Florida’s highest-performing districts, with students consistently achieving top results in reading, mathematics, science, and end-of-course assessments. Students also perform above state and national averages on Advanced Placement exams and ACT and SAT assessments.
“Controlled Open Enrollment reflects our district’s commitment to providing families with meaningful educational choices while maintaining balanced enrollment across schools,” said Superintendent Dr. Brennan Asplen.
Selecting a preferred district school offers several benefits, including access to high-quality academic programs supported by strong instructional practices, schools that align with a child’s interests, learning style, or future goals, and locations that may be closer to home, work, or childcare.
Families interested in applying for Controlled Open Enrollment can find eligibility information at https://www.stjohns.k12.fl.us/coe/.
