The schools and the 14 Reading First coaches in the district were honored Tuesday night by the Escambia County School Board.

The reading coach at Carver/Century K-8 is Lee Cassady, and the reading coach at Bratt Elementary is Tammy Calloway. Molino Park and Byrneville  elementary schools are not part of the Reading First program.
