Barracuda Beat

On Wednesday, November 20, 2024, each school in St. Johns County celebrated their School Related Employee of the Year at an evening reception. Beachside High School celebrated Ms. Kim Delaney, our Dean’s Office Secretary, with this honor! She works hard each day to support students, teachers, and families. We are so lucky to have Ms. Delaney as part of the Barracuda family!
