BIG NEWS, WAKULLA! Please join Superintendent Myhre and the entire Wakulla County School District in celebrating Mr. Sean Simmons, who has been named one of only five statewide finalists for Florida’s 2025 School-Related Employee of the Year! 🏆 If you know Sean, you know this recognition could not be more deserved. He has quietly, humbly, and consistently poured his heart into serving students with disabilities at Wakulla Institute—year after year, moment after moment.

This honor from the Florida Department of Education is a powerful reminder that kindness, patience, and service do get noticed. And while we already know he’s a winner, we’re cheering him on as he remains in the running for Florida’s 2025 School-Related Employee of the Year, to be announced in the coming weeks!
