NEW MURAL ADDS COLOR AND CULTURE TO HALIFAX HARBOR MARINA Daytona Beach continues to expand its collection of colorful murals. The latest addition is a vibrant, oversized sea turtle mural on the south side of the Halifax Harbor Marina. Created by talented artist Tiffany Urquhart, this bold and beautiful piece captures the spirit of coastal life, bringing another splash of creativity to the city’s public art initiative. The mural features a colorful sea turtle swimming through an undersea garden, framed by stylized coral, waves and marine plants. The mural marks Urquhart’s sixth mural in Daytona Beach. Other works can be seen at the Dickerson Rec Complex, Joe Harris Park, Daisy Stocking Park, the Daytona Beach Pier and a city training facility located at the marina.

In a landmark achievement for education in our community, Volusia County Schools earned an overall “A” grade from the Florida Department of Education for the first time since 2008-09, marking a major milestone in student success and community progress. Daytona Beach schools played a pivotal role in this historic accomplishment, with both Mainland and Seabreeze high schools receiving “A” ratings, a first-ever for Mainland. In addition, Beachside Elementary earned its first “A” rating since Ortona and Osceola Elementary Schools merged into one school (2021-2022). These ratings reflect a districtwide commitment to excellence. Superintendent Dr. Carmen Balgobin credited the community’s united effort, “This ‘A’ is more than a measure of academic success; it is a reflection of a district and a community that chose to come together—with purpose and with heart—to ignite a passion for learning in all students.” Great schools help build great communities.
