Ortega Elementary School, a museum magnet school since 2011, held its annual Museum Exhibit Night Dec. 7 when students proudly showed off their knowledge in many subjects, including science, social studies, biology and geography.
The 94-year-old neighborhood school transitioned seven years ago to a magnet when the Duval County Public School District used a $1.2 million grant to institute a museum studies strategy that had its roots in Atlanta. Ortega Elementary School was the 11th museum magnet in the country.
