    SPC/St. Petersburg College:

    Every year in the fall we hold an event to register for SPC and have the registration fee waived. Please encourage your child to apply. If they wait until Spring, they will have to pay the fee. If they decided on a different path, that’s ok.  SPC REGISTRATION OCTOBER 27 9AM to 11AM
