this Month

On our cover this month is Dr. Shakeica Robinson, the new principal at Royal Palm Beach High School. A Royal Palm Beach resident, she was appointed over the summer after serving as principal at Tradewinds Middle school. Profiled this issue, Robinson returned to the school 20 years after first arriving at RPBHS in 2004 as a newly minted math teacher. 

     Also featured is an interview with Palm Beach State College President Ava Parker, who leads the county’s largest institution of higher education. We spoke with Parker about plans for the fast-growing Loxahatchee Groves campus, located just west of Royal Palm Beach.

At HCA Florida Palms West Hospital, a board of trustees works to improve healthcare for everyone in the community. Aside from hospital administrators and doctors, the board includes community leaders, such as attorney Mickey Smith, who we spoke to for this issue.

     We also visit the family-owned Morgan’s Country Kitchen to check out this hidden jewel of the Royal Palm Beach community that serves up great comfort food while supporting those in need. Finally, we take a look at the amazing community events planned for this fall in Royal Palm Beach.

     As we await more temperate weather, we hope your fall season is going well, and we will be back as the calendar ticks toward the holiday season. Meanwhile, keep an eye out for more information on plans to honor 65 years of Royal Palm Beach history, coming to Royal Palm The Magazine readers early in 2025.
