Combination magnet school, YMCA breaks ground

Representing just the second partnership of its kind in Florida, Pinellas County Schools (PCS) and the YMCA of Greater St. Petersburg have officially broken ground on a health and wellness leadership magnet school.

Tuesday’s ceremony represented the first step in the transformation process for 19 acres of vacant property in north St. Pete. Located off 62nd Avenue NE and Pershing Street NE, the site has laid dormant for nearly 15 years since the old Riviera Middle School closed in 2008.

The youngest of Ruth Porter’s seven siblings, Gregory Porter grew up singing in the church. His mother was an ordained minister, and the children would often appear with her, in storefront churches in and around Bakersfield, California, leading the congregation in gospel songs.

He was around 8 years old, Porter reckons, when he told his mother he wanted something more. “I said I wasn’t sure I wanted to be a gospel singer. I just said wanted to sing about love.
