We’re thrilled to share that one of our very own EVG School students has been selected as this month’s CCPS District All-Star! Join us in celebrating their outstanding achievement as they shine among the best student-athletes in the Collier County Public Schools District.

Sophomore Josey Ryder is a talented catcher on the Lady Gators softball team at Everglades City School. Josey led the team in batting average (.722), home runs (2), RBIs (11), and on-base percentage (.833). She was just as strong defensively with her ability to block softballs and throw runners out on base with her strong arm. Coaches say Josey not only led the team with talent and effort, but she also demonstrated strong moral character on and off the field.
