Big things are on the horizon in Port St. Joe! Today, we officially broke ground on the highly anticipated Multipurpose Classroom Building/Shelter at the Gulf Coast State College Gulf/Franklin Campus!

This new facility will add approximately 12,000 square feet of learning space to our growing campus. Beyond serving our students, this building is designed with community resilience in mind—it will also serve local residents as a Shelter of Last Response during times of need.

Construction is slated to begin within the next few weeks, with a completion date set for 2027.

With Deepest Gratitude
A project of this magnitude truly takes a village—or rather, a phenomenal crew:

To our local leaders: Thank you for your tireless advocacy, partnership, and vision in helping make this crucial facility a reality.

To our District Board of Trustees: Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication to expanding opportunities and safety for our community.

To our incredible Gulf/Franklin faculty and staff: Thank you for your daily dedication to our students and for anchoring the success of this campus.

As we expand our footprint, we expand our ability to serve, educate, and protect our community. We can’t wait to watch this building rise!

Go Dores!

NATIONAL EMS WEEK on GCSC North Bay Campus

Today, our Gulf Coast State College EMS and Fire science students at the North Bay Campus had an incredible opportunity to celebrate EMS Week with some real-world inspiration.

A massive shoutout and thank you to GCSC Alumnus, Captain Ike Smith, now a Bay County Firefighter/Paramedic! Captain Smith stepped back onto campus today to speak with our current students about his journey from these very classrooms to the front lines of public safety.

He shared invaluable insights on leadership, the realities of the truck, and this year’s national EMS Week theme: “Improving Outcomes, Together.” It was an incredible reminder that saving lives isn't a solo job—it takes an unbreakable chain of teamwork, dedication, and community.

Thank you, Captain Smith, for investing back into the next generation of first responders, and thank you to all of our incredible students who are stepping up to answer the call. We are so proud of our GCSC family!
