FSDB Competes against Miami’s Solid Rock Christian in High School Football
At 4 p.m. on Friday, October 30, the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind’s varsity football team will compete against Solid Rock Christian Academy. This marks the first time for these two teams to play each other. The game will take place at Solid Rock’s football field. The school is located at 19000 SW 112th Ave., Miami, Florida 33157.
Please join school administrators, staff and parents at this event to show your support. Players who are from the Broward/Miami area will be able to compete in front of their friends and family, which is a rare occurrence since most games take place in North Florida where the school is located.
Head football coach, Johnny Samuels, a 1968 graduate of FSDB, is a superior role model for the team members. The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind has long held that a strong athletic program contributes to students’ confidence and success.
Located on 70-plus acres in St. Augustine near the Atlantic Ocean, the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind serves over 800 students from all areas of Florida. Founded in 1885, the school is a national leader in the education of deaf and blind students. FSDB is an accredited Florida public school, is free to Florida residents, and offers on-campus education for pre-school through 12th grade. Meals, boarding and transportation to and from the campus are provided at no cost to students.
